Print Recipe

A quick and wholesome no-bake snack featuring sunbutter, oats, honey, and mini chocolate chips. Perfect for busy days and peanut-free diets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup smooth sunbutter (sunflower seed butter)
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients: 1 cup sunbutter, 1 cup rolled oats, 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (optional), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  2. In a mixing bowl, stir together the sunbutter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
  3. Add the rolled oats, mini chocolate chips, ground flaxseed, and salt. Stir gently but thoroughly until evenly mixed.
  4. Test the texture by pinching a small amount; if crumbly, add a teaspoon of honey or more sunbutter; if too wet, add more oats.
  5. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll into tight balls. Place on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Yield about 15-18 balls.
  6. Chill the balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to two months.

Notes

If sunbutter is thick, warm it in the microwave for 10 seconds to ease mixing. Adjust oats or honey to get the right sticky but not too wet consistency. Chilling is essential to firm the balls. Mini chocolate chips are preferred to avoid overpowering texture.
