Peanut butter oatmeal balls are quite possibly the best snack invented. Sometimes called energy balls they are delicious. I have seen different recipes similar to this floating around before, but I had to write my version of these scrumptious snacks down. Like I have said before we are really trying to work hard on “knowing what we eat” so when I had Cade I wanted simple, quick, foods that were not processed. These snacks were what saved me during those first few weeks! I was absolutely starving those first few weeks after having a baby. I had heard plenty about nursing but no one told me how hungry I would be!
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls
Mix It Up
Give Them As A Gift
I’ve started to give these out to my new mom friends as a gift (but it would be a good gift for anyone!) . Not only do I make them a bunch but I send them the ingredients in a jar. Check out how I do it!
Best snack ever!!! I have enjoyed them for a quick go to snack after baby #3 was born !!! Especially tending to the other two!!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Glad you love them! Sometimes I still eat them as my breakfast when I don’t have time in the morning! So addicting!
We love these! 5yr old little girl actually asked if we could make them again… Umm geez yah ok! Easy & a good snack for her! I know everything that was put in it… That’s the best part!
Love these. I’ve made them several times. They are very handy when I’m starving from breastfeeding. The best part is that my picky four year old loves them too 🙂
Maybe this is stupid – but do you cook the oats first?
Nope no cooking!
Do you use instant oatmeal or steel cut or rolled oatmeal?
I used rolled oatmeal, however my mom uses instant oatmeal and likes it that way! The picture is with rolled oats.
Do you use liquid honey or can you use regular honey?
Regular Honey! Enjoy!
Love this post! So yummy – inspired my post for a similar recipe!
Hi! How long could these last in the freezer and what is the best way to defrost them?
Good question, my guess is as long as you normally feel comfortable with food you freeze. I often freeze them but we usually eat them within 2 weeks. We actually now prefer to eat them right out of the freezer.
I love these little bites! I have dipped them into melted chocolate to make the a bit more irresistible!
That sounds delicious!
These are absolutely divine straight from the freezer and so easy to make. Great knowing exactly what you are eating as a treat. Yummy with a cup of tea.
I so agree!
do you know the nutritional value? Calories and Protein?
No sorry!
