Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls
developed & tested by:
These easy no-bake peanut butter oatmeal balls are made with just rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, and peanuts. They're a quick sweet-and-salty snack, ready in under 30 minutes.
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
- Dry Mixture: 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.
- Sticky Mixture: Lightly wetting your hands before rolling the mixture will also help it not stick to your hands.
- Storing: These peanut butter energy balls are great to take on a trip, to school, or to work, since they keep well during the day in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also store them longer in the fridge.
