  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch of salt
Optional Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or dried fruits for extra sweetness

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
  2. If using, fold in the mini chocolate chips or dried fruits into the mixture.
  3. Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form the mixture into small balls about one inch in diameter.
