peanut butter oats balls

[Kurt]

another lovely treat to try!

Ingredients:​

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)
• 1/4 cup ground flaxseed or chia seeds (optional, for added nutrition)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:​

1. Mix Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract if using. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
2. Add Optional Ingredients:
   • If desired, stir in mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and/or ground flaxseed or chia seeds. These add-ins are optional but can enhance the flavor and nutritional value of your oat balls.
3. Form Balls:
   • Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get around 12-15 balls, depending on the size.
4. Chill:
   • Place the oat balls on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
5. Store:
   • Store the Peanut Butter Oat Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage; just make sure they are in a freezer-safe container.

Tips:​

• Texture: If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, add a little more peanut butter or a splash of milk. If it’s too sticky, add a bit more oats.
• Variety: Feel free to get creative with mix-ins like dried fruit, shredded coconut, or different types of nut butters.
• Allergy-Friendly: For a nut-free version, you can substitute the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or another nut-free spread.

These Peanut Butter Oat Balls are a great option for a quick snack, a pre-workout boost, or a healthy treat. Enjoy!
