Ingredients
Scale
2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup hemp hearts
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds)
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
2–3 Tablespoons water or milk
chocolate chips and sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine rolled oats, hemp, flax and pumpkin seeds. Process until finely ground.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine honey, peanut butter and vanilla and microwave 30-45 seconds. Mix well.
- Pour honey mixture into food processor and process until well combined.
- Add water (or milk) by the Tablespoon and pulse until wet enough for the mixture to stick together when you squeeze it in your hands.
- Add sprinkles and/or chocolate chips if using and pulse a couple times to mix in.
- Roll into balls and store in the fridge.
Notes
If you don’t want the chocolate chips to melt, you’ll need to let the mixture sit for a few minutes after adding the honey mixture since it will be warm. Otherwise, add them right away and they’ll get melty and add a nice chocolate goodness throughout the balls.
