  • Peanut Butter Balls

    This is one of those snacks that is super easy to make and tastes delicious. Elliott and I usually make these at least twice per month, sometimes more. It’s often that all two dozen peanut butter balls are gone in just a day or two!

    Traditional peanut butter balls are loaded with sugar and butter, but these are a healthy alternative – and just as tasty!

      Made these lastnight. Just doubled the batch and made again today, DELISH. My 7 year old loves. I did leave out the nutmeg today though only because we aren’t fans of it. SUPER recipe. Thanks!

    3. kami says:

      Making right now. YUM.

      Thanks for another great recipe. These were absolutely delicious.

      DS who is a little more than 3 1/2 yrs old enjoyed making them into little 1 inch balls, but thought some of them looked like “poop balls” – LOL. However, he gobbled up about 4 of them for his snack before bed. DH (borerline diabetic) has to watch his sugar intake. The next batch I make, I will decrease the honey by a few tablespoons & increase the peanut butter & experiment with adding other nuts, raisins, etc for a great energy booster as well.

      These look delicious! Just wondering how long they’ll stay fresh?

      Sherry: You can double the flax seeds. :)

    7. Sherry says:

      Is it possible to make these without coconut? we are not fans of it at our house. I still would like to make these.

    8. Cassie says:

      Terri B: Yes, you can!

    9. Terri B says:

      Wondering can you freeze these? I am a batch maker and was wondering if it would freeze well?

    10. Cassie says:

      Chelle: Uncooked oats.

    11. Chelle says:

      When it calls for quick cook oats, is that already cooked oatmeal or not?thanks

      I’ve tried these a few times and I think they are great. I once substituted maple syrup for the honey. They were a little to soft but tasted great. I have also used cashew butter from the bulk store. I really like these and now I have a little craving…going to see if I have the ingredients in the kitchen….
