Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, and sea salt. Stir well to ensure the seeds are distributed evenly.
Step 2: Add the creamy peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir vigorously until a thick, sticky dough forms and all oats are coated.
Step 3: Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula until they are evenly spread throughout the mixture.
Step 4: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes. This makes the dough less sticky and easier to handle.
Step 5: Once chilled, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll it between your palms to form a smooth ball.
Step 6: Place the finished energy balls in an airtight container.
Step 7: Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
