Instructions

• Add the rolled oats and ground flax or chia seeds to a medium mixing bowl. Add any optional spices, then add the nut butter, maple syrup or honey, vanilla, and salt.
• Stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined. If it feels dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until it holds together.
• Scoop portions with a cookie scoop or tablespoon and roll them into compact balls. A 4-teaspoon scoop makes about 18 to 22 bites.
• Chill the bites until firm, then store them in a covered container.
