These Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls are a simple, no-bake snack that’s perfect for a quick energy boost.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup Rolled oats (gluten free, if needed)
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (can use any nut or seed butter of choice)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (can substitute agave nectar, brown rice syrup)

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and ground flaxseed. Stir well to evenly distribute the flaxseed throughout the oats for a nutritious base.
  2. Warm wet ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, gently heat the peanut butter and maple syrup together until warm and melted, whisking thoroughly to create a smooth liquid mixture that will bind the dry ingredients.
  3. Combine and chill: Pour the melted peanut butter mixture into the dry ingredients bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Fold in the chocolate chips to evenly distribute. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up, making it easier to shape.
  4. Form balls: Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and with your hands, shape the mixture into 20 small, evenly sized balls. These are now ready to enjoy immediately or can be stored in the fridge for later snacking.

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with a seed butter like sunflower seed butter.
  • Use gluten-free oats if you require a gluten-free recipe.
  • Maple syrup can be replaced with agave nectar or brown rice syrup for similar sweetness.
  • Store the balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
  • These can also be frozen for longer storage; just thaw before serving.
