In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir these ingredients together until they are well combined and have a smooth consistency.
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To the same bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds (or flax seeds), and mini chocolate chips (if using).
1 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds, 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Using a sturdy spoon or spatula, mix all the ingredients together until everything is evenly distributed. Ensure the oats and seeds are fully coated with the peanut butter mixture. The mixture might seem a little sticky, which is normal.
If the mixture feels too sticky to roll into balls, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15-30 minutes. This will make it easier to handle.
Once the mixture is firm enough, scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll it between your palms to form bite-sized balls.
Place the rolled Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can enjoy them immediately, or for a firmer texture, refrigerate them for about 30 minutes before serving.

Best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Can be frozen for up to 2 months.
