Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the quick oats, creamy peanut butter, honey, and mini chocolate chips. Use a spatula or electric mixer on low speed to blend until they form a sticky, cohesive mixture, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and chill in the refrigerator for approximately 20 minutes.
  3. Remove the mixture from the fridge and portion out about 1 tablespoon to roll into balls. Wet your hands with water if it becomes too sticky.
  4. Place the formed energy balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or in an airtight container. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours before serving.
