Instructions
Mix the Base
In a large mixing bowl combine rolled oats, chia seeds, and chocolate chips. Stir everything together until evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
Add Wet Ingredients
Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir vigorously until the mixture comes together into a sticky dough that holds its shape when pressed.
Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This firming time is essential so do not skip it as it makes rolling much easier and cleaner.
Roll and Store
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll firmly between your palms into neat balls. Place in an airtight container layered with parchment paper and refrigerate until packing for the picnic.
