Peanut Butter Oat Balls

June 29, 2016 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 7 Comments

Hi Everyone,

This past Sunday, I was craving something sweet like a cookie.  I told myself that I would eat healthier and I would try to stay away from baked goods.  I tend to over do when they are around.  Last weekend I made chocolate chip cookie bars, and I froze them for my Husbands lunch, and when I would come home from work, I would eat two.  After all who can eat one chocolate chip cookie bar?  Not me!   So I told myself, I need to make something healthy for me that will satisfy that craving.  That’s when I decided to make Peanut Butter Oat Balls.  I haven’t made balls in forever, and I am so glad I did.  Just one Peanut Butter Oat Ball satisfied my craving.  The perfect afternoon snack and pick-me up.

Peanut Butter Oat balls

These balls are so yummy!  The peanut butter just melts in your mouth.  They taste like a peanut butter cookie, but healthy for you.  They are so easy to make, and most of the stuff is probably in your pantry.  I used Skippy Natural Peanut Butter, organic maple syrup, vanilla extract and Trader Joe’s Gluten-Free Rolled Oats.

Peanut Butter Oat balls


To start the recipe, you need to make oat flour.  I just took two cups of rolled oats and processed them in my mini food processor until it was the consistency of almond meal.  Than I put all of the ingredients into a bowl, and mixed until well combined.  Give it a taste before you roll into balls.  You want to make sure it is sweet enough for you.  I added a tad more maple syrup to sweetened them up.  You could also use honey if you prefer.  I had to add chocolate, so I cut up some dark chocolate and added it to the mix.  I used Trader Joe’s Pound Plus Dark Chocolate.  I think it is the best chocolate, especially for the price.  You could add mini chocolate chips if you desire.

I froze my balls in the freezer.  I like to keep them stored there because they don’t freeze completely because of the fat from the peanut butter.  You can also refrigerate them if you would like.  Just don’t keep them on your kitchen counter.

When you bite into these gems, they just melt in your mouth.  You have a fabulous peanut butter flavor with just a hint of chocolate.  Oh they are so good.

Peanut Butter Oat balls

These are not only fun to eat, but they are fun to make too.  I enjoy making these kind of snacks and I don’t feel bad eating it either.  These make for a great pre or post workout snack too!

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I make a very similar recipe to this, except I add dessicated coconut and I don’t grind up the oats. This is something my young girls can prepare all by themselves.

    p.s. We are trying your scalloped potato recipe tonight.

    Just curious, how many should this be served for. I used the same amount of ingredients, and I only have 16 balls. Each ball is about 2 tbs.

      Hi Angela, I tend to make things smaller. Sorry you only ended up with 16 balls. Hope you enjoyed them.

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you so much for all your kind messages about the loss of Samantha. I was overwhelmed by all your kindness. It meant so much to me. Thank you.
❤️
I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!
❤️
Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂
❤️
The sign and most of the decor on the table is from Krumpets Home Decor. I have a 10% discount code: PBANDP. Link in my bio. As an fyi, Krumpets Home Decor also ships to Canada.
❤️
Have a beautiful day.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?
