PREPARATION
These steps are followed for the preparation of Oat And Flaxseed Energy Balls No Bake Snack:
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Place the rolled oats and ground flaxseed in a mixing bowl. Stir gently so the flaxseed blends evenly with the oats for a consistent texture.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the peanut butter and maple syrup to the dry mixture. These ingredients act as binding agents and provide richness and natural sweetness.
- Stir Together: Mix thoroughly using a spoon until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together. If it feels too dry, add a few drops of water to adjust the consistency.
- Shape: Take a small amount of the mixture in your hands and roll it into a smooth ball. Lightly damp hands prevent sticking and help create neat and even shapes.
- Serve: Enjoy straight away for a soft texture or refrigerate for a firmer bite that holds its shape perfectly in lunchboxes or snack containers.
