In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, chocolate chips or raisins, and ground flaxseed or chia seeds (if using).

Add the nut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the dry mixture.

Mix everything together until well combined. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit more nut butter or honey. If it’s too wet, add a bit more almond flour or oats.

Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls using your hands. This recipe makes about 12 balls.

Place the energy balls on a baking sheet or plate and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.

Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should last for about a week.
