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! I changed up my dining room a lit Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room  a little bit. I took out my Easter decor and gave it a more neutral look and did some switching around. Plus I added a Samantha Sue, who is laying down in the photo. lol
🍓
One of my favorite pieces that I added was my new @krumpetshomedecor sign. I love the style of the sign with the shiplap white wash look and of course the cute strawberry and daisies that add a pretty pop of color.
🍓
The sign is also reversible. It also says Life is Sweet on the other side without the strawberries and daises. The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.
🍓
You can get free shipping and an additional 10% off with my discount: PBANDP.

What is your favorite summer fruit?

Hello and happy Wednesday! Thank you for all your Hello and happy Wednesday!  Thank you for all your kind words about the dentist. All he had to do is cement my crown back on. He said your crown has sticky with clear stuff on it. He said I don’t think it’s the old cement?  I told him I ate a white Trader Joe’s jelly bean and I thought I got it all off. He was laughing.
🌿
It’s that time of year for house plant care. While your plants are waking from dormancy, it’s time to feed them, repot them if needed and give a trim if applicable.
🌿
I also water my plants about every 7-10 days, depending on the plant. My coffee plant, fern, violet and my mixed plant container needs watering more. The key to know when to water is check the soil. I use a water meter probe and  you just stick it in the dirt. If it’s dry, I water. If it’s moist or wet, I’ll check again in a few days. You can get a water meter at Lowe’s, your local nursery or Amazon. It’s my number 1 garden tool. We use it on outside plants too.
🌿
I’m also sharing with you my cute little tea towel that I got from @e.h.designco. Her shop is closed right now because she’s moving, but will be open back in June.
🌿
Okay, go check your plants!
🌿
What’s your favorite house plant?

Happy Tuesday! Well today’s the day! I head to Happy Tuesday!  Well today’s the day! I head to the dentist. Wish me luck. I hope they will be able to glue my crown back on. I hate going to the dentist! Ugh!
🌸
Today I am sharing with you my new plates and bowls that I got from @sonemone_official. I just love them. The shade of blue is so pretty and I love the vibrant colors on them.
🌸
The bowls are huge and would make a wonderful soup bowl or salad bowl. The plates would be beautiful served with a charcuterie board. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. They would be so pretty on a summer tablescape.
🌸
Are you ready for summer decorating?

Happy Good Friday! So happy the weekend is here. Happy Good Friday!  So happy the weekend is here. It’s been a glorious week with warm temperatures and sunshine. Next week it’s supposed to cool off dramatically, so I am going to enjoy it while it’s here.
💕
I wanted to get one last Easter tiered tray in before Sunday. Everything you see here is from small shops. I tagged all of them in the photo.
💕
This weekend I’ll be taking a break from IG to work in the yard and to do some decorating so I have some new content to share with you. Though with Easter almost behind us, I’m unsure what I’ll do next? But I do think I’ll stick with the yellows? But we’ll see.
💕
Have the most wonderful weekend and Easter holiday!!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind us and now we are in April. March flew by in a blink of an eye.  I can’t get over how fast the month went. It’s crazy.
🌸
My excitement for me today is trying to get into a dentist. My crown on my implant fell out yesterday when I was eating a jelly bean. The last place I want to go is the dentist. Yuck!
🌸
I’ll admit engagement in March on IG has just been awful. But I am so thankful for you. Thank you for stopping by and liking my photos and your sweet comments. You always make my day. Let’s hope April is better for all of us.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos of March. You guys picked some good ones. The first photo of the Easter tablescape is my favorite tablescape I’ve done.
🌸
Do you have any plans for this weekend?

Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 bunnies into this picture, if you count the bunnies on the pillow. Can you find them all?
🐰
This is probably my favorite spot to decorate. About a year or so ago, I had no idea what to do in this area. I struggled so much. It’s just an odd space. Then I bought the white bench and it instantly became so much fun to decorate.
🐰
I loved the bench so much, I bought a second one to go under the other window. That bench holds my plants. I have other awkward spaces in my home that I would love to add a bench, but my husband would kill me if I got another. I can overdo things when I like something. Like bunnies and pumpkins. lol
🐰
Do you have something that you can’t resist to buy?

Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vigne Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vignette. I told you that I’m trying to squeeze them all in.
🐰
Let me tell you, I must have taken a bazillion photos of this vignette. I moved it all over my house. I have the worse time photographing greens and yellows together. I have the same issue with sunflowers too.
🐰
I was inspired by this vignette by the cute little Fresh Dyed Eggs sign from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. I love the little sign so much. She makes the cutest little signs.
🐰
I had fun putting together the shallow pot with moss and the birds nest. I added my little daffodils to it to look like they are popping out of the pot.
🐰
Is there something you try to photograph that gives you a hard time?

Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is E Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is Easter, so you know what that means? I need to get in as many bunny pictures as I possibly can.
🐰
Who am I kidding? You’ll probably get a lot more bunnies in the coming weeks. In all actuality, I keep most of my bunny decor up all year, unless it screams Easter.
🐰
This weekend was a busy one for me. The first real warm weekend we’ve had all year, so I spent a lot of time working the garden. I’m actually kind of sore, which is a good thing. Nothing like the sun shining, warm air and playing in the dirt. My favorite thing.
🐰
What do you look most forward to when the weather warms up?
