Ingredients

1 cup	Rolled oats, dry
1 cup	Coconut, shredded, unsweetened
1/3 cup	Flaxseed meal (ground)
1 tsp	Cinnamon
1/3 cup	Maple syrup (or honey)
1 tsp	Vanilla extract, pure (alcohol-free)
1/2 cup	Peanut butter, natural (or nut or seed butter of choice)
1/2 cup	Dark chocolate chips, vegan

Line a medium-sized baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl combine the oats, coconut, ground flax meal, and cinnamon.
Stir in the nut/seed butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Then, carefully fold in the chocolate chips.
Roll the batter into balls (approx. 1 inch in diameter), place on the lined baking sheet, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour prior to serving.
