Made with simple ingredients and requiring less than 15 minutes prep time, these yummy peanut butter oat balls are the perfect make-ahead snack for busy weekdays! {Gluten-free & Vegetarian}
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 3-4 tablespoons honey (depending on how sweet you like it)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Fold in any optional add-ins, if desired.
- Chill mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Use your hands to roll the mixture into approximately 16 1-inch balls. Store the balls in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a less chewy texture, you can also combine the peanut butter, oats and honey in a food processor before rolling into balls to help break down the oats a bit.
- Since these oatmeal energy bites contain honey, they shouldn’t be served to babies under the age of one. You can use an alternative such as maple syrup if desired, or hold off on serving them to baby until past the age of 12 months.
- If serving these balls to toddlers or small children, encourage them to take small bites or roll the energy ball mixture up into tiny balls since the mixture can be a bit sticky to chew. It also helps to serve them with a glass of milk!
- Adjust the amount of honey depending on your personal taste buds. Start with 3 tablespoons and add a little extra if the mixture still seems dry or you prefer them a little sweeter.
- Feel free to switch up the add-ins in these peanut butter energy bites. There are so many different combinations to try out. See post above for some ideas!
