Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the chia seeds and oats. Set the bowl aside.
  • Next, in a small saucepan over low heat, melt together the almond butter and honey and stir until smooth.
  • Then, stir in the cacao powder, sea salt and vanilla. Stir well until everything is combined.
  • Next, pour the chocolate mixture over the oats and seeds and mix well.
  • Pop the mixture in the fridge for five to ten minutes to cool down. Doing this will prevent the chocolate chips from melting when you stir them in.
  • Once the mixture has cooled, add in the chocolate chips and stir.
  • Roll the mixture into heaping tablespoon-sized balls ( using a small cookie scoop makes this easy ). Place the balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet and pop it into the fridge for thirty minutes to harden.
