OATMEAL ENERGY BALLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine everything together using a spatula. It should all come together and form a sticky but slightly crumbly batter. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit more peanut butter and honey. If the mixture is too sticky, add a bit more oats. See notes.
• Divide the batter into 4 medium bowls. If you have a scale, each bowl should weigh 95 grams, but it's fine to just estimate. You can also make these Oatmeal Energy Balls with one mix-in. Skip this step, and make sure you adjust the mix-in recipe accordingly.
• For each bowl, add in the mix-in of choice, and mix until everything is well combined.
• Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to press into balls.
• Press and roll the batter into roughly 1-inch balls. You should be able to make 6 Oatmeal Energy Balls with each mix-in. Enjoy immediately, and store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator.
