The Snack Our Family Can’t Live Without
If there’s one recipe that’s on repeat in our kitchen, it’s these Peanut Butter Oat Balls. They’re quick, easy, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for kids and adults alike.
Plus, they’re made with simple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry: oats, creamy peanut butter, pure maple syrup, and mini chocolate chips. What I love most about this recipe is how effortlessly it comes together. Just mix everything in one bowl, let it chill for 30 minutes in the fridge, and then roll them into bite-sized balls.
The result? A chewy, chocolatey snack that’s perfect for school lunches, busy afternoons, or even a sweet after-dinner treat. These little energy bites aren’t just tasty—they’re also packed with protein and fiber, making them a smarter snack option compared to most store-bought treats.
In our house, we whip up a batch every week sometimes twice, and somehow, they always disappear faster than I expect. Whether you’re a busy parent, a snack enthusiast, or just someone with a sweet tooth, these Peanut Butter Oat Balls deserve a permanent spot in your snack rotation.
Pro Tip: Don’t be afraid to get creative with your mix-ins. Chia seeds, shredded coconut, dried fruit, or even a sprinkle of sea salt can take these bites to the next level.
Give these Peanut Butter Oat Balls a try, and let me know if they become a staple in your house too.
