Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Energy Oatmeal Balls
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of quick oats, 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup of honey, and 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips. Mix until all ingredients are fully combined.
  2. Use a hand mixer on low speed for about 2 minutes to achieve an even consistency. Ensure the dough holds together but isn't overly sticky.
  3. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm it up, making it easier to roll into balls.
  4. Using a cookie scoop or hands, portion the chilled dough into about 30 balls, rolling them into smooth shapes.
  5. Store the formed balls in a covered container in the fridge or freeze them for longer-term storage.
