Ingredients
½ cup Natural peanut butter
⅓ cup Honey
1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon Sea salt
¾ cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
¼ cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
¼ cup Flaked coconut
¼ cup Chopped pecans
¼ cup Raisins
2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
1 tablespoon Chia seeds
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the rolled oats, chocolate chips, flaked coconut, chopped pecans, raisins, ground flaxseed, and chia seeds to the bowl. Fold all ingredients together until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the mixture into 25 uniform mounds on the prepared sheet.
Gently roll each mound between your palms to form a tight, compact ball.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the balls to firm up.
Transfer the chilled energy balls to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve chilled.
Comments
Nearly all ingredients are stocked at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, and Walmart, though flaxseed and chia seeds may require a second stop at ALDI or Kroger if your usual chain doesn't carry them—a minor inconvenience for a weeknight prep. Cost per serving is roughly 35–45 cents, driven mainly by pecans and chocolate chips, which is solid for a homemade snack. The stated 40 minutes is honest, mostly waiting for the mixture to chill, with actual hands-on work closer to 15 minutes. These hold up beautifully for weekday grab-and-go eating and reheat or serve cold without issue, making them practical for families. The recipe fits North Carolina tastes without seasonal constraint, though local peanut butter feels natural here.
