Ingredients
- 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats (or quick oats)
- 1 ¼ cup creamy peanut butter (nut butter or seed butter)
- ¾ cup maple syrup (or liquid honey)
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add 3 cups of oats, 1 ¼ cups of creamy peanut butter, ¾ cup of maple syrup, and ½ cup of mini chocolate chips. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined into a uniform mixture.
- Chill Mixture: Place the combined mixture into the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes. This step helps the mixture firm up and makes it easier to roll into balls.
- Form Balls: After chilling, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-tablespoon-sized balls. Arrange the balls on a baking sheet or flat tray.
- Store: Store the oat balls in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to eat. They make a convenient, nutritious snack that can be enjoyed cold.
Notes
- Use old fashioned rolled oats for a chewier texture or quick oats for a softer bite.
- Substitute maple syrup with liquid honey for a different natural sweetness.
- For a nut-free option, substitute peanut butter with seed butter like sunflower seed butter.
- Store the peanut butter oat balls in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- These oat balls can be frozen for up to 1 month for longer storage.
