Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
¼ cup chia seeds
⅛ tsp fine sea salt
½ cup almond butter
⅓ cup honey
¼ cup raw cacao powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and chia seeds. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt together the almond butter and honey, stirring until smooth and well-combined.
Stir in the raw cacao powder, sea salt, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the oats and chia seeds, and stir until everything is evenly combined.
Refrigerate the mixture for 5-10 minutes to cool slightly, which will help prevent the chocolate chips from melting when added.
Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the dark chocolate chips.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, roll the mixture into balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to harden. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy as a snack or treat!
