Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls! An easy, healthy snack recipe made in 5 minutes with only 8 ingredients! The perfect little energy bite! Gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar free and vegan-friendly!
In a large bowl, mix together old fashioned oats, coconut, almond meal and salt. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl or in a saucepan over medium heat, melt together the peanut butter and honey until smooth.
Remove from heat and add 2 TBS almond milk and vanilla.
Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir until completely combined. If necessary, add additional almond milk until the mixture is moist but not sticky, and easy to roll.
Scoop out 1 TBS portions of dough, roll them into balls and place on your prepared baking sheet. Continue until all the dough has been used. If you find it is too dry/crumbly add more almond milk ½ TBS at a time.
Place balls in the refrigerator or freezer to set.
Transfer the bites from the baking sheet to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator or freezer!
If you choose to store them in the freezer, you may want to let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before eating!
Notes
Substitutions
Old-Fashioned Oats: Quick-cooking oats can be used however I do not recommend steel-cut oats!
Almond meal: If you'd prefer not to use almond meal you can simple increase the amount of oats by 1/4 cup! Ground flaxseed is also a good substitution!
Honey: For a vegan version use maple syrup or any other liquid sweetener of choice.
Almond milk: Any kind of milk (dairy or non-dairy) works great in this recipe!
