Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, and brewer’s yeast.
Add the peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until a thick, uniform dough forms.
If the mixture is too dry, add milk of choice one tablespoon at a time until the texture is suitable for rolling.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, if using.
Roll about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the mixture into compact balls using your hands.
Place the bites on a parchment-lined tray and chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes.
Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge or freezer as needed.

Notes

Use vegan chocolate chips and maple syrup for a fully vegan version.

Add shredded coconut, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts for variety.

Use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free alternative.

Add a scoop of protein powder for extra protein; adjust liquids as needed.

Freeze in a single layer before storing in a container to prevent sticking.
