No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls
No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls are bite-sized energy snacks made by combining oats, almond flour, honey, and peanut butter into a soft dough then chilled until firm. These no-bake treats offer a chewy texture from the oats balanced with the creamy richness of peanut butter and natural sweetness from honey. They are convenient for quick snacking, requiring no oven time and minimal preparation.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup oats can use quick oats or instant oats
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup peanut butter
Instructions
- Cover a cookie sheet in parchment paper or aluminum foil sprayed very lightly with cooking oil.
- Place almond flour and oats in a large mixing bowl and mix until combined.
- Add peanut butter and honey to the oat mixture. Mix all ingredients well until combined with a spatula and it forms a soft dough.
- Roll dough into 1 inch balls, about the size of a ping pong ball and place on the prepared cookie sheet not touching the other pieces.
- Slide cookie sheet into freezer to help dough firm up for at least 20 minutes. Then enjoy!
Notes
- If the dough is too sticky to roll, gradually add more oats a tablespoon at a time until it firms up.
- Store these peanut butter energy bites in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for several months.
- You can eat the balls directly from the freezer without defrosting.
- Almond flour can be substituted with more oats or coconut flour, noting some changes in texture.
- Maple syrup works as an alternative sweetener to honey in this recipe.
