You find plenty of Oatmeal Peanut Butter Balls on the web today, but this one is a no-bake recipe that I found inspiring. Suddenly, I decided to dip them in chocolate and achieved perfection.
This no-bake recipe for Oatmeal Peanut Butter Balls is by Melody of Will Run for Margaritas
I am watching what I eat. So, I had to get creative with my snacks when Blue corn chips have helped with the salty/crunchy that I crave, but I’ve been eating a lot of carrots and hummus. I also enjoy tatziki, {homemade} with plantain chips, and these delicious little no bake oatmeal & peanut butter balls. I’ve been making a version of this recipe for years (peanut butter, oatmeal, and honey) but decided to add a few extras into the mix. This recipe is so easy and quick – but the best part is that it’s healthy and satisfies all types of cravings!

A quarter *what* flax? I’m thinking a 1/4 cup but I don’t want to assume. Seems the measurement is missing from the recipe.
Wow! Thanks Jaime. Quite a few people have visited this post and didn’t catch that! You were correct 1/4 cup of flax seed. Enjoy!
These little balls of oatmeal, peanutbutter & honey are scrumptous
These are so yummy! Just have a question about the chocolate.. Do I use baking squares or powder? I just have powder on hand, would that work?
Hey Alicia, I used the squares not the powder so I don’t know how to advise you if you only have powder, but I can tell you that I’ve also done these without any chocolate at all, and they are great! So that is also an option. Happy cooking!
