If your nut butter is firm, gently warm it until soft and easy to stir.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, and salt.
Add the peanut butter and chosen sweetener to the bowl. Stir until fully combined.
Roll the mixture into small balls using your hands or a small cookie scoop.
Alternatively, press the mixture into cookie shapes if desired.
Store in a sealed container at room temperature, in the fridge, or freezer.

Use certified gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version.

Maple syrup or agave keeps the recipe vegan.

Customize with protein powder, dried fruits, spices, or superfoods.

Store refrigerated for up to 3 weeks or frozen for 4 months.

Let frozen balls thaw or microwave briefly before serving.
