1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
1/4 cup ground flaxseed or chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Notes
Use quick oats for a softer texture if desired.
Swap honey for maple syrup or agave to make the bites vegan.
Lightly dampen or oil your hands to prevent sticking when rolling the bites.
Use sunflower seed butter or tahini to make the recipe nut-free.
Add chopped nuts, dried fruit, coconut, or protein powder for variations.
