Pin Recipe- Prep Time: 10 min
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 20 oat balls
- Category: Breakfast
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup flax seed meal
- 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl until well combined
- Roll mixture into 1-tablespoon sized balls
- Place on a plate or rimmed baking sheet
- Chill in refrigerator for one hour
- Transfer to an airtight container
Notes
Storage: These breakfast bites stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Makes 20 balls.
Budget Tips:
- Buy oats in bulk when they go on sale
- Stock up on peanut butter during back-to-school sales
- Look for markdown prices on chocolate chips after the holiday season
- Use store-brand ingredients to cut costs further
My family grabs these on busy mornings or packs them for afternoon snacks. They’re filling, nutritious, and cost about 25 cents per serving – much cheaper than packaged alternatives. I often make a double batch when ingredients are on sale.
Quick Substitutions:
- Use smooth peanut butter if that’s what you have on hand
- Try almond butter for a different taste
- Add dried fruit instead of chocolate chips
- Use quick oats in place of rolled oats
