No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls
Description
This recipe mixes old fashioned rolled oats with all-natural creamy peanut butter and ground flaxseed, sweetened with pure maple syrup. Adding chocolate chips adds bursts of sweetness throughout. The ingredients are combined into a dough that is then rolled into one-inch balls. Since the recipe does not require baking, the texture stays soft and chewy, with the peanut butter binding the oats and flaxseed together.
Because the recipe uses natural peanut butter made only from peanuts and salt, the flavor is straightforward and wholesome. Rolled oats provide texture and substance, while flaxseed adds subtle nuttiness and nutrients. The maple syrup sweetens gently without overpowering the other flavors.
You can store the energy balls either at room temperature up to four days, in the refrigerator, or frozen for longer preservation. They are ready to eat immediately after shaping or can be chilled to firm up further if desired.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats old fashioned
- ¾ cup peanut butter all natural creamy
- ½ cup Flaxseed ground
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, add all ingredients to a mixing bowl.
- Mix until combined.
- Roll into 1 inch size balls. Place on parchment lined pan.
- Either eat immediately or store in fridge.
Notes
- Use old fashioned rolled oats rather than quick oats for better texture and structure.
- Choose natural creamy peanut butter made only from peanuts and salt; thicker peanut butters can dry out the mixture.
- If the dough feels too dry, add a little more peanut butter or maple syrup to reach the desired consistency.
- Stored at room temperature, these energy balls last up to 4 days; refrigeration or freezing extends their shelf life.
- Ground flaxseed can be substituted with chia seeds if preferred.
