Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by gathering all your ingredients: creamy peanut butter, honey, and old-fashioned oats.
  • In a large mixing bowl, place 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup of honey, and 2 cups of old-fashioned oats.
  • Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir the ingredients together until the mixture is sticky and fully combined.
  • If the mixture is too dry, add a little more honey. If it’s too wet, add more oats, one tablespoon at a time.
  • Lightly wet your hands and roll the mixture into one-inch diameter balls.
  • Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each ball.
  • Refrigerate the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes to firm up the balls.
  • Once chilled, enjoy your 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Balls.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

You can customize these balls by adding mix-ins like chocolate chips, dried fruit, or nuts. For vegan options, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. Store peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
