Mix wet: Add ½ cup creamy peanut butter, ¼ cup honey, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract to a bowl. Stir until smooth.
Add dry: Add 1 cup rolled oats, 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds, ¼ cup mini chocolate chips, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 pinch salt. Mix until a thick dough forms.
Shape: The dough should be soft but hold its shape when pressed. If too soft, add 1 tablespoon oats. If too dry, add more peanut butter. Scoop and roll into small balls. Makes about 12 to 16 energy balls.
Eat or Freeze: You can eat them right away, but for the best texture, freeze them until firm (about 15 minutes). They become chilled, slightly chewy, and almost like a peanut butter chocolate ice cream bite.
