Notes
- Pick your oats ~ I prefer the hearty whole grains in rolled oats, but instant oats are an acceptable substitute. Skip steel cut oats as they are not as tasty in the recipe.
- Use mini chocolate chips ~ As the energy balls are small treats, mini chocolate chips are the perfect size to use.
- No stick ~ Spray the measuring cups with cooking spray and the honey and peanut butter will slide right out.
- Mix it up ~ It is easy to mix the ingredients together. But a stand mixer or hand mixer can also be used.
- Get scooping ~ A medium cookie scoop portions perfect peanut butter energy balls.
- Squish ~ It helps to squish the portioned peanut butter mixture in your hand. This helps the energy balls stay together and are formed in nice round balls.
