Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of old-fashioned oats, 1 cup of peanut butter, ½ cup of honey, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir with a wooden spoon until well-coated and form a sticky mixture, taking about 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. Gently fold in ½ cup of chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of chia seeds into the oat mixture for added flavor and nutrition, which should take another 2 minutes.
  3. Cover the mixing bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes until firm.
  4. Roll the mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter, aiming for about 12-15 balls.
  5. Store the rolled balls in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper if stacking.
