Toasted oats maintain a similar texture without added sugar.

Combine 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats in a large bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of ground flax seeds to the bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of all-natural peanut butter to the bowl.

Pour in 1/3 cup of honey into the mixture.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Stir the mixture until well combined, forming a thick batter that sticks together when pinched.

Scoop about a teaspoon of the dough into your palm and roll it into a ball, similar to rolling a meatball.

Place the rolled energy balls onto a small rimmed baking sheet.

Continue rolling until all the dough is used, yielding about 16 to 20 energy balls.

Pop the baking sheet in the fridge and let the energy balls chill for about an hour to set up.

Transfer the energy balls into an airtight container for storage in the fridge or freezer.
