You don't need a lot of ingredients to make this simple recipe. I bet you already have a lot of them on hand! Here's what you will need:

• old fashioned oats
• creamy peanut butter (or nut butter)
• honey
• coconut flakes
• mini chocolate chips

How to Make Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls

Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Add old-fashioned oats, peanut butter, honey, coconut flakes and mini chocolate chips to a large mixing bowl and mix until everything is combined well. Cover with a lid and put in refrigerator for one hour.

Scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball and place on your prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the dough has been used.

You can use a cookie scoop to make the balls a consistent size.

Place balls in the refrigerator to set. Once set transfer balls to airtight container and store in the refrigerator.

Recipe Substitutions And Additions

• You could add ground Flax seeds, Chia seeds, hemp seeds or Wheat bran.
• Try mini dark chocolate chips, semi-chocolate chips or white chocolate chips.
• Use almond butter or sunflower butter instead of peanut butter.
• Raisins or Craisins are great additions to this recipe.

How To Store

Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

Freezer: Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. I recommend freezing them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for two hours to avoid them freezing in a clump and then transfer them to an air tight container or freezer-safe bag. 

When ready to eat thaw for about 30 minutes at room temperature or in the refrigerator overnight.
