Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter (or other nut butter)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, natural peanut butter, honey, mini chocolate chips, and shredded coconut. Stir until everything is evenly mixed and holds together well.
  • Using a 1-tablespoon measure, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll into balls. To prevent sticking, you can lightly spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray or dampen them with water.
  • If the mixture feels too soft to form into balls, chill it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes before rolling. This will firm it up and make the process easier.

Notes

Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for up to a month for long-term storage.
