Peanut Butter, Oats, and Honey Stick Together

The recipe for these delightful snacks starts with rolled oats, which provide a nutty, earthy flavor and add texture. Peanut butter adds an unmistakable richness, while honey helps to bring everything together and binds all the ingredients together in one cohesive ball. To finish the mixture, you can add any nuts or dried fruit you like; raisins, walnuts, and almonds are all popular choices. To shape the balls into uniform sizes, use a standard tablespoon scoop to measure the right amount of dough before rolling each portion into a ball in your hands.

How to make Oatmeal Peanut Butter Honey Balls

This recipe is easy to make. You’ll need less than eight ingredients. Gather up everything you need; here’s the list:

  • Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • Peanut Butter
  • Waxing Kara Honey
  • Chia or Flax Seeds
  • Vanilla
  • 72% dark chocolate bar
  • Coconut oil

This is a no-bake recipe. The raw diet was popular a few years back, and some dishes are surprisingly delicious. These No-Bake Oatmeal, Peanut Butter Nutballs, are so easy to make, and they make a tremendous no-guilt snack for 3 pm.

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 Nutballs

Step 1: Mix everything

Place everything except the extras in a food processor. Pulse for a few seconds, 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 rapid pulse to combine. I like to reserve a few extras for rolling the finished balls to make them look irresistible. Roll the dough into bite-size balls, and roll in extra add-ins if you’d like (and who doesn’t?)

Step 3: Refrigerate

Allow the nutballs to chill in the fridge for about 5-10 minutes before serving 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

To make this classic recipe even more indulgent, dip each ball into melted dark chocolate chips before setting them aside on parchment paper to harden. 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. Once cooled and solidified, you will have thirty tasty little treats ready to be enjoyed!

These Oatmeal Peanut Butter Balls also taste fantastic when served cold – they’re perfect accompaniments to yogurt or smoothies if you’re looking for something lighter than dessert as a snack option during the day. They’re also great additions to lunch boxes since they’re packed with healthy ingredients such as oatmeal, which is rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates, and peanuts containing essential vitamins and minerals such as zinc and magnesium. Plus, since no baking is required, very little mess or clean-up is involved when preparing this hassle-free recipe!

  1. 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!

  2. 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!

  3. I revisited this recipe for no-bake peanut butter balls and I have to tell you that they are still very delicious!
