Healthy Peanut Butter Oat Balls

This is one of my favorite recipes. I make a batch of these and keep them in the fridge for a great breakfast or snack. 

Ingredients:

2 C. Old Fashioned (or Steel) Whole Grain Oats

1/2 C. Natural Peanut Butter

1/4 C. Raw Natural Pure Honey

Other recommended Items:

Olive Oil Spray (Extra Virgin Preferred)

Cookie Scoop

Calories: 1640 in the entire batch

*My scoop makes 36 peanut butter balls per batch which is approximately 45 calories per ball...but remember...these are healthy calories and very filling.

Directions:

In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients together.

Lightly spray whatever container will be used for storage with olive oil spray to keep the peanut butter balls from sticking to the container.

Scoop the mixture into balls. You can pat them into balls by hand; however, I do not recommend it because the oats will stick to your hand and it can be very frustrating. What I have found to work best is using a cookie scoop. That gives a flat side for them to sit on and they hold together very well. I usually spray the cookie scoop with olive oil spray a few times during the process of scooping them out. Put parchment/wax paper between each level of peanut butter oat balls to keep them from sticking to one another.

Then just stick them in the fridge for a great, healthy, yummy, easy snack!!! Hope you enjoy them as much as our family does!
