Ingredients
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (creamy & natural)
- 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (GF if desired)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or agave, etc.)
- 1/4 cup almonds, crushed
- 1/8 cup ground flax seed
- 1/8 cup sunflower seeds
Instructions
- In a small pan over medium heat, add peanut butter and maple syrup. Stir and let heat for a few minutes until creamy and melted.
- Add remaining ingredients.
- Stir with spatula for 1-2 minutes to combine until chocolate thoroughly melts.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture sit in the pan for about 10 minutes to cool.
- When it cools enough to touch, mold into balls. (They'll harden further as they sit.) We store ours in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes
- Larger batches: If making large batches (doubling or tripling the recipe) I put the balls on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for about a half hour to set + harden. Then transfer them to a container in the fridge for storage. (This helps prevent them from sticking together.)
