Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls
With just four simple ingredients, you can make delicious and easy peanut butter oatmeal balls in under half an hour! If you have a nut allergy, substitute the nut butter for seed butter and the chopped peanuts for your favorite seeds!
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter (or your favorite creamy nut or seed butter)
- ¼ cup honey (or maple syrup)
- ½ cup chopped peanuts (or your favorite chopped nuts or seeds)
Instructions
- Mix all four ingredients in a medium mixing bowl until the oats and nuts are fully coated in the nut butter and honey.
- Set the bowl in the fridge for 15 minutes, to make it easier to shape into balls.
- Using clean hands, take about 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture and press it in your palms to shape into a ball. Repeat with the rest of the mixture until you have 12 energy bites.
- Enjoy right away or store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer to enjoy later.
Notes
- If your peanut butter balls are dry and they aren't sticking together, add a little more honey, one tablespoon at a time. Some nut butters can be drier than others.
- Lightly wetting your hands before rolling the mixture will also help it not stick to your hands.
- Don't skip refrigerating the mixture before rolling them into balls. Otherwise you'll end up with a sticky mess on your hands!
