3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls
Description
This recipe mixes dry oats, creamy peanut butter, and raisins by hand until fully combined, then shapes the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls. After forming, the balls are chilled in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up before eating or storing. They provide a chewy texture with the nutty richness of peanut butter and bursts of sweetness from raisins.
The snack requires no cooking and can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. The simple ingredients work well together for a quick, portable snack.
Various mix-ins like vegan chocolate chips, cacao nibs, seeds, protein powders, or dried fruits can be added for texture and flavor variety. Adjustments to these extras may require balancing moisture or binding.
Ingredients
- 1 cup oats dry
- ½ cup peanut butter creamy, not the kind where the oil separates
- ¼ cup raisins
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add oats, peanut butter, and raisins. Using your hands, mix together thoroughly.
- Still using your hands, roll into small balls about the size of a tablespoon.
- Place onto a baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Eat immediately or store in an airtight container or silicone reusable bag in your refrigerator.
Notes
- Mini vegan chocolate chips, cacao nibs, or other dried fruits can be added or substituted for raisins for different flavors.
- Seeds such as chia, flax, pumpkin, sunflower, or hemp add crunch, fiber, and nutrients.
- Protein powders may be included but might require extra liquid adjustments due to different absorbency.
- Shredded unsweetened coconut can add chew and flavor to the mixture.
