Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1/2 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup Crushed peanuts
Instructions
- Mix peanut butter and honey: In a medium bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and honey. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Add remaining ingredients: Add the rolled oats, mini chocolate chips, and crushed peanuts to the bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Chill the mixture: Place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. Chilling helps the mixture firm up, making it easier to handle and shape.
- Form energy balls: Remove the mixture from the fridge and scoop out portions to form into 1-inch balls using your hands. Roll them tightly to ensure they hold their shape.
- Serve and enjoy: Your Peanut Butter Energy Balls are ready to eat. Store any extras in the refrigerator in an airtight container for freshness.
Notes
- For a crunchier texture, toast the rolled oats lightly before mixing.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan version.
- Use natural peanut butter without added sugar or salt for a healthier option.
- These energy balls can be stored in the fridge for up to one week or frozen for up to three months.
- Add a pinch of salt or cinnamon for an enhanced flavor profile.
