Print Recipe - No-Bake Peanut Butter Oat Balls

Ingredients

1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup Creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/3 cup Honey
1/4 cup Semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
2 tablespoons Chia seeds

Instructions

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. Measure your rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, and chocolate chips into separate small bowls.
Add the peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and kosher salt to your large mixing bowl. Stir vigorously with a sturdy silicone spatula until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy.
Pour the old-fashioned oats and chia seeds into the wet base. Fold the ingredients together until a thick dough begins to form. Gently stir in the mini chocolate chips until they are evenly dispersed throughout the bowl.
Use a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon to gather the dough. Press the dough firmly together in your fist to bind the ingredients. Roll the compressed dough between your palms to form a smooth ball. Place the finished ball onto your prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
Place the loaded baking sheet directly into the refrigerator. Allow the balls to chill uncovered for at least thirty minutes. Transfer the firmed-up snacks to an airtight storage container.

Notes

Tip: Lightly spray your measuring cup with non-stick cooking spray before measuring the honey. If your peanut butter is stiff, microwave the wet mixture for 10 seconds to help it blend. If the dough feels too tough to stir, use clean hands to knead. If the mixture sticks to your palms, keep a small bowl of water nearby and lightly dampen your hands. Troubleshooting: If dough is dry/crumbly, add 1 tbsp peanut butter or a splash of warm water. If too sticky, add 1-2 tbsp rolled oats. Storage: Keeps in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
