Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup oats I used quick-cooking steel-cut oats
  • 1 cup peanut butter or pumpkin seed butter if you're making for school
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 1/2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Add all of the ingredients except the chocolate chips into a food processor and process until well-blended.
  • Transfer to a medium-sized bowl and add chocolate chips. Mix well.
  • Roll into 1-inch balls and place on parchment paper inside an airtight container.
  • Chill and serve!

Notes

I like to roll and place on a baking sheet and freeze them right on the baking sheet. Once they're nice and cold and firm, I place them in a freezer-safe plastic ziploc bag for storage and just take one out at a time!
