Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls
These 3-ingredient peanut butter oatmeal balls are a wholesome snack to make in 5 minutes. They’re chewy, lightly sweet from honey, and easy to make ahead.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup old fashioned oats , plus more as needed
- ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 Tablespoons honey , plus more to taste
Optional Mix-in's: Splash of vanilla, Pinch salt, Pinch cinnamon, or 2 Tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a food processor or blender, pulse 3/4 cup oats until broken. You don't want to turn it into oat flour but break it enough that there is some powder. This will help bind the balls.
- Stir the oats, 1/3 cup peanut butter, 2 Tablespoons honey, and any desired mix-ins in the food processor or a bowl until combined.
- Using a small cookie scoop or Tablespoon, scoop the dough onto a plate or baking sheet. Roll into 1-inch balls, wetting hands if needed. Eat right away or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
Optional Mix-ins: Occasionally I like to add a splash of vanilla, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of cinnamon. A handful of mini chocolate chips are also a great addition. You can also substitute maple syrup in place of honey to make it vegan.
Note: If you add extra ingredients and the mixture feels too dry, add a little more peanut butter and honey. If it feels too sticky, add a Tablespoon or two more of oats.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
