Looking for the perfect snack that’s filling, naturally sweet, and packed with protein and healthy fats? These No-Bake Oatmeal Peanut Butter Balls are just the thing you need for those moments when you’re hungry and don’t know what to grab. They’re nourishing enough to keep little (and big) bellies satisfied, with just the right touch of sweetness to feel like a treat.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 30 Balls

Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 6 cups oats
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the peanut butter, honey, coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  2. Add the oats, cocoa powder, and chia seeds to a blender and blend until finely ground. Not feeling chocolate? Omit the cocoa powder and check out the Variations section!
  3. Pour the blended oat mixture into the bowl with the liquid ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. It may seem like it won't come together at first, but keep working it. Using your hands to knead it like dough toward the end really helps.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a 1½-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the mixture and roll each scoop into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
  5. Enjoy right away or store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. This recipe makes about 30 No-Bake Oatmeal Peanut Butter Balls 

Notes

I like to stick the parchment lined baking sheet with the balls on it in the freezer for a few minutes to firm up. I'll then transfer them to a container and keep in the fridge or put them in a freezer bag and store in the freezer. If freezing, they thaw in just a few minutes, making them perfect for grabbing on the go or packing in a lunchbox.

 

Variations:

Double Chocolate - Make the No-Bake Oatmeal Chocolate Peanut Butter balls as is and mix in mini chocolate chips.

Peanut Butter - Omit the cocoa powder and let the peanut butter flavor shine.

Chocolate Chip - Omit the cocoa powder and mix in mini chocolate chips.

Cinnamon - Skip the cocoa powder and substitute 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.

Coconut - Leave out the cocoa powder and lean into the coconut flavor by adding shredded coconut instead.
