Description

These no-bake peanut butter oatmeal balls are a healthy and delicious snack made with just 3 simple ingredients. Perfect for meal prep, they’re great for breakfast, snacking, or an energy boost on the go.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (125g) natural peanut butter (or any nut/seed butter)
  • 1/4 cup (85g) honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)



Instructions

1. Mix the Ingredients:
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, and honey.
  2. Stir until well combined. If the mixture feels too dry, add a little more peanut butter or honey. If too sticky, add a few extra oats.
2. Form the Balls:
  1. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball with your hands.
  2. Repeat until all the mixture is used. You should get about 12 balls.
3. Chill:
  • Place the balls on a plate or tray and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to firm up.
4. Serve:
  • Enjoy straight from the fridge or at room temperature! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Customize with mix-ins like mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, chia seeds, or a pinch of cinnamon.
  • Use gluten-free oats if needed.
  • Substitute peanut butter with almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter for variety.
