How to Make It

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, pulsed walnuts, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, cinnamon, and ginger. Stir until mixed.

  2. 2

    Add peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly using a spatula or clean hands. The mixture should clump when pressed. If too dry, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time until it holds.

  3. 3

    Fold in dark chocolate chips.

  4. 4

    Refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes — this makes rolling easier.

  5. 5

    Roll into 20 equal balls (approximately 30g each) using damp hands to prevent sticking.

  6. 6

    Place on a tray lined with parchment. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
