Here’s a quick and delicious No-Bake Peanut Butter Balls recipe—perfect for a sweet, protein-packed snack:
Ingredients (makes ~20 balls)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: ¼ cup mini chocolate chips, cocoa powder, or shredded coconut for coating
Instructions
- Mix the base
- In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, honey, and vanilla.
- Stir in the rolled oats until fully combined.
- Optional add-ins
- Fold in mini chocolate chips or cocoa powder if desired.
- Form the balls
- Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Optional coating
- Roll in shredded coconut, cocoa powder, or drizzle melted chocolate over the balls before serving.
Tips:
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
- Use natural peanut butter for a healthier version without added sugar or oils.
If you want, I can also give a protein-packed chocolate peanut butter version that tastes like candy but is healthier.
