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)!
