I love these as a quick energy snack. I keep them in the refrigerator almost all the time. They are sweet enough to make me feel like I am getting a treat, but they have enough good stuff to help with energy fixes and muscle recovery. Store in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 40 servings

  • 1 (18 ounce) jar crunchy peanut butter

  • ½ cup coconut oil

  • 2 tablespoons agave nectar

  • 1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

  • 1 cup flax seed meal

  • 1 cup hempseed

  • 2 ½ cups rolled oats

  • 2 (12 ounce) bags dark chocolate chips (such as Ghirardelli®)

  • 1 cup pecan pieces

Directions

  1. Beat peanut butter in a bowl of a stand mixer on low speed until creamy. Add coconut oil, agave nectar, sea salt, flax seed, hempseed, rolled oats, dark chocolate chips, and pecan pieces respectively, beating dough well after each addition.

  2. Scoop dough into smalls balls onto a plate. Chill in the refrigerator until set, at least 30 minutes.

Cook's Note:

If the air temperature is too warm and the dough too gooey, place the dough in the refrigerator for an hour to let it set up, which will make it easier to form balls and have them hold their shape.
