  • Airtight container

Ingredients
  

Dry ingredients

  • 2 tbsp debittered brewer’s yeast
  • ⅓ cup flaxseed meal
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp hemp hearts
  • ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats gluten free if desired
  • 1 tsp chia seeds

Wet ingredients

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • ½ cup all-natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the mix-ins

  • 2 tbsp chocolate chips of choice

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, honey, and vanilla, stirring until smooth.
  • Add flaxseed meal, brewer’s yeast, oats, hemp hearts, chia seeds, and cinnamon, mixing well with a rubber spatula to evenly distribute everything.
  • Gently fold in chocolate chips.
  • If the mixture feels too dry to form cohesive balls, adjust by adding more nut butter or sweetener until it holds together.
  • Roll into eight large bites, pressing firmly to maintain shape.

Notes

  • Swap peanut butter for almond or sunflower seed butter if preferred, and replace honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • If the mixture feels too sticky, chill it for 10 minutes before rolling to make shaping easier.
  • Add shredded coconut or a scoop of protein powder for extra energy and flavor.
