Making Energy Balls is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, nut butter, honey or maple syrup, ground flaxseed or chia seeds, chocolate chips or dried fruit, vanilla extract, and salt.

2. Mix Well: Stir together with a spatula until all ingredients are evenly combined and form a sticky mixture.

3. Taste Test: At this point, you can taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or add more ingredients if desired.

4. Form Balls: Use your hands to take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.

5. Chill (Optional): Place the formed Energy Balls on a lined baking sheet or plate. If desired, refrigerate for 30 minutes to help them set.

6. Store: Transfer your Energy Balls to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for longer shelf life.

7. Enjoy: Grab a few anytime you need a quick energy boost!
