Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Ground Flaxseed
- 1 Tablespoon Chia Seeds
- 1 Cup Old Fashioned Oats
- 1/2 Cup Chocolate Chip
- 1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
- 1/3 Cup Maple Syrup
- 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper
- Mix dry ingredients well (ground flaxseed, oats, chocolate chips and chia seeds) in mixing bowl
- Add wet ingredients and mix well (peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla)
- Using your hands, form small ball shaped "bites" (note: this is a messy job) and place on parchment paper ensuring space between each "bite"
- Place in freezer for 1 hour to set (or refrigerator for 3 hours)

Notes
If using refrigerated peanut butter, these will set more quickly and only need about 10-20 minutes in the freezer.
TIP: Keep leftovers refrigerated to maintain form and reduce mess. Kids will need to wash hands after eating so if taking on the go, bring some wipes.

Can this be made nut safe by substituting Sunbutter?! These look AMAZING!!!!
I haven’t tried using it before, but if memory serves it’s thick like PB and would work similarly as the “binder” to hold it all together.
