These 4-ingredient wonders are the perfect snack to make for a healthy but delicious energy boost. These balls are creamy, rich and full of texture. They only take seconds to whip up!
These no-bake peanut butter oat balls taste of peanut butter sweetness and oats. They are a delicious healthy snack to keep on hand when you need a little boost throughout the day! My toddler loves these and I know they are not only a filling snack for her, but they are so good for her! They are full of fiber, healthy fats and protein. I make them at the start of the week so we have them on hand to snack on. They’re also a great on-the-go snack as well as a perfect school snack. I hope you love these as much as family and I do!
Ingredients
You will need Peanut Butter – natural peanut butter is best, Honey – maple syrup can be substituted, Rolled Oats – you can substitute quick oats if you prefer and Ground Flaxseed Meal – you can substitute ground chia seeds, almond meal or just add a 1/2 cup more oats
For Littles
This is such a yummy and healthy snack to make for your littles. I love to bring these to the park and give as a snack before dinner. These balls add to little ones’ protein intake and the healthy fats assist the growth of their brains and bodies. There is a lot of fiber in these balls which help their digestive tracts to work properly. There’s just so much goodness in these oat balls! You can serve these to your little 12 months +! I say this because they do contain honey. If you would like to use maple syrup in place of honey, you can serve these to your littles 9 months +!
How To
In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Then add in your oats and flax and mix.
Roll into balls and chill for 15 minutes. Enjoy!:)
