Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (250g) peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1 cup (90g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 cup (85g) honey
Instructions
- Combine 1 cup of peanut butter, 1 cup of rolled oats, and 1/4 cup of honey in a mixing bowl.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly until the oats are evenly coated and the mixture is sticky but manageable. Adjust by adding more honey if too dry or more oats if too wet.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm up slightly.
- Scoop out about a tablespoon (15g) of the mixture and roll it between your palms into tight balls. Aim for 12-15 balls.
- Place the rolled balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate to prevent sticking.
- Refrigerate the balls for at least 20 minutes to set before serving.
Notes
Chilling the mixture before rolling is key to prevent sticky, crumbly balls. Stir natural peanut butter before measuring to ensure even texture. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to three months. Adjust honey and oats to get the right consistency.
