Peanut Butter, Oats, and Honey Stick Together
The recipe for these delightful snacks starts with rolled oats, which provide a nutty, earthy flavor and add texture. Peanut butter adds an unmistakable richness, while honey helps to bring everything together and binds all the ingredients together in one cohesive ball. To finish the mixture, you can add any nuts or dried fruit you like; raisins, walnuts, and almonds are all popular choices. To shape the balls into uniform sizes, use a standard tablespoon scoop to measure the right amount of dough before rolling each portion into a ball in your hands.

I am watching what I eat. So, I had to get creative with my snacks when Blue corn chips have helped with the salty/crunchy that I crave, but I’ve been eating a lot of carrots and hummus. I also enjoy tatziki, {homemade} with plantain chips, and these delicious little no bake oatmeal & peanut butter balls. I’ve been making a version of this recipe for years (peanut butter, oatmeal, and honey) but decided to add a few extras into the mix. This recipe is so easy and quick – but the best part is that it’s healthy and satisfies all types of cravings!

How to Make No-Bake Oatmeal Peanut Butter Nutballs
Step 1: Mix everything
Place everything except the extras in a food processor. Pulse for a few seconds, push down the ingredients, and pulse again until the ingredients are combined.
Step 2: Add-Ins and Roll
Add the extras (chocolate chips, anyone?) and give it one more rapid pulse to combine. I like to reserve a few extras for rolling the finished balls to make them look irresistible. Roll the dough into bite-size balls, and roll in extra add-ins if you'd like (and who doesn't?)
Step 3: Refrigerate
Allow the nutballs to chill in the fridge for about 5-10 minutes before serving to firm up or store in the freezer and allow them to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Store in the fridge.
Step 4: Dip in Chocolate
To make this classic recipe even more indulgent, dip each ball into melted dark chocolate chips before setting them aside on parchment paper to harden. For the dark chocolate coating, in a double boiler, makeshift or otherwise, melt a tablespoon of coconut oil and add 2 ounces of dark chocolate. Dip balls in chocolate mixture and refrigerate. Once cooled and solidified, you will have thirty tasty little treats ready to be enjoyed!
These Oatmeal Peanut Butter Balls also taste fantastic when served cold – they're perfect accompaniments to yogurt or smoothies if you're looking for something lighter than dessert as a snack option during the day. They're also great additions to lunch boxes since they're packed with healthy ingredients such as oatmeal, which is rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates, and peanuts containing essential vitamins and minerals such as zinc and magnesium. Plus, since no baking is required, very little mess or clean-up is involved when preparing this hassle-free recipe!
