Cooking Instructions

Combine the Peanut Butter (1/2 cup) , Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (1 1/4 cups) , Honey (1/3 cup) , Mixed Seeds (2 Tbsp) , Vanilla Extract (as needed) , Kosher Salt (1 dash) , and Mini Chocolate Chips (1/2 cup) in a bowl and stir together. The dough should be slightly sticky and hold together.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, roll the dough into balls the size of a walnut or golf ball, about a generous tablespoon. Transfer to the rimmed baking sheet.

Chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to firm up (but you can certainly eat these right out of the bowl!) Transfer to a sealed container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
