3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls
Description
This simple recipe mixes rolled oats with creamy peanut butter and honey, which acts as a binder and natural sweetener. The ingredients come together easily by hand or with a scoop to form small balls. The texture balances the softness of peanut butter with the slight chew of oats, making them satisfying small bites.
Ready to eat right away, the balls also keep well in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 10 days, providing an accessible snack option. They can be frozen for longer storage and thawed before consuming. These no-bake snacks require no cooking and minimal preparation.
Peanut butter varieties influence taste; all-natural salted creamy peanut butter is recommended. If honey is unavailable, maple syrup can substitute, but chilling the mixture helps it hold shape during rolling. Wetting hands slightly facilitates shaping sticky dough.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats gluten-free if necessary, old fashioned
- ¾ cup peanut butter I recommend all-natural, salted creamy
- ¼ cup honey room temperature for best results
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together.
- Using your hands or a cookie scooper, form 10 - 15 balls. Tip: you may need to wet your hands a little if the dough is super sticky.
- Enjoy immediately and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 7 – 10 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Maple syrup can replace honey; chill the mixture 15-25 minutes before rolling to prevent crumbling.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
- Freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months; let sit at room temperature 10-15 minutes before eating.
