The Perfect Snack For When You Are Hangry {Peanut Butter Protein Balls}

in Food, In a Healthy State of Mind on 04/22/19

If your kids are anything like mine, they want to eat a snack every 37 seconds or so.  The struggle is real am I right?  So I am attempting to have some healthier snacks on hand to give them when they are hungry. I made these No Bake Peanut Butter Protein Balls (of course, I called them “cookies”)  and was pleasantly surprised at how quickly they disappeared. Honestly, I liked having them on hand for myself too when I just needed a little something between meals. And yes, “hanger” is real. (angry + hunger= hanger) These Peanut Butter Protein Balls will definitely become something I keep in our rotation around here!  I love that they are no bake and literally take minutes to prepare. 

 

Peanut Butter Protein Balls

 

Peanut Butter Protein Balls

Ingredients:

1 Cup Peanut Butter ( I use the natural kind with no hydrogenated oils) Refer to this article for good info on the healthiest peanut butters. 
1/2 Cup Honey (to taste)
1.5 Cup Uncooked Oats
I also added a handful of Chocolate Chips

Other things you can add in:

chopped nuts, flax seed, dried fruit, almond butter, protein powder, cocoa powder, coconut, vanilla

 

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls

 

Directions:

  • Heat Peanut Butter and Honey on stove until combined
  • Add Oats, mix with spoon or hands
  • Roll into bite sized balls on wax paper or a cookie sheet
  • Pop in refrigerator until firm
  • Store in air tight container in fridge

These can also be done as Protein Bars- just press the ingredients into a 9×9 pan and cut into bars instead.

    Hi Heather, I make these and they are great to have on hand just when you need a bite. I have added
    Cocoa (dark) and that makes them delicious! Great easy recipe!
