Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • cup natural peanut butter At room temperature. I love to use the Classic Peanut Butter by Nutty Novelties.
  • 3 tablespoon honey raw local honey, if possible
  • 1 teaspoon honey in addition to the 3 tablespoons of honey
  • 1 tablespoon flax meal
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  • Mix well. Stir the mixture until the peanut butter and honey are evenly distributed and all ingredients are blended together.
  • Using your hands, roll the mixture into balls about one inch in diameter.
  • Place in the refrigerator to set.

Notes

*Nutrition information is estimated using a database. Actual nutritional information is dependent on the exact ingredients and amounts used.
  • I find that it's easiest to roll these when my hands are damp with water before rolling.
  • Also, the consistency of these will depend on the consistency of the peanut butter used. Feel free to adjust the amount of peanut butter or honey to get the desired consistency. This recipe is very flexible!
  • By natural peanut butter, I mean the kind that is only made with just peanuts or peanuts and salt.
  • This recipe is easily doubled or tripled. They freeze well!
  • Chia seeds, coconut flakes, or hemp hearts can be used in place of flax meal.
