Ingredients

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls

2 cups whole grain oats *quick oats will also work
⅔ cup creamy peanut butter *see note below
2 tablespoons honey *or agave

Mix-ins *feel free to get creative here!

2 tablespoons chia seeds
4 tablespoons chopped pecans
4 tablespoons dark chocolate chips *see note below
*Other mix-in ideas: walnuts, pine nuts, chopped dates, cranberries, white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, chocolate chunks, flax seeds

Recipe notes:

Peanut butter: I prefer to use a natural peanut spread with minimal healthy ingredients, but any will do. You can also substitute your favorite nut or seed butter!

Chocolate chips: I always use Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips - they are SO good. I highly recommend them!

Instructions

Measure oats into a small bowl. Add peanut butter and honey. Use a spatula to mix until well combined.
Stir in your desired mix ins! Here I'm using chia seeds, chopped pecans, and dark chocolate chips.
Form dough into 1 tablespoon sized balls (a cookie scoop is very helpful if you've got one)! If the dough is crumbly, add a bit more peanut butter or a teaspoon of cold water. This should make the dough easier to mold.
Place balls into a Ziploc bag and refrigerate for up to a week (or freeze for up to 3 months)!
