You find plenty of Oatmeal Peanut Butter Balls on the web today, but this one is a no-bake recipe that I found inspiring several years ago with the raw diet craze first began. I met many new friends thanks to this post and I am revisiting it now to make it even better. Suddenly, I decided to dip them in chocolate and achieved perfection.

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!

How to make No-Bake Oatmeal Peanut Butter Balls

This recipe is easy to make. You’ll need less than 8 ingredients. Gather up everything you need, Here’s the list:

• Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
• Peanut Butter

Making No-Bake Oatmeal Peanut Butter Nutballs

Step 1: Mix everything together

Place everything except the extras in a food processor. Pulse for a few seconds and push down the ingredients and pulse again until the ingredients are combined.

Step 2: Add-Ins and Roll

Add the extras (chocolate chips anyone?) and give it one more very quick pulse to combine. I like to reserve a few extras to roll the finished balls to make them look irresistible. Roll the dough into bite-size balls, roll in extra add-ins if you’d like (and who doesn’t?)

Step 3: Refrigerate

Allow the nut balls some time to chill in the fridge for about 5-10 minutes before serving to allow them to firm up or store in the freezer and allow them to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Store in the fridge.

Step 4: Dip in Chocolate

For the dark chocolate coating, in a double boiler, makeshift or otherwise, melt a tablespoon of coconut oil and add 2 ounces of dark chocolate. Dip balls in chocolate mixture and refrigerate.
