    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!

      Oh, btw, thanks for replying to my comment. I’ve commented on other blogs before with no reply. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. :)

    2. Dawn says:

      Thanks for the great recipe! I made a double batch on the weekend and they are almost gone!
      Using wheat germ turned out fine.

      I made these last week and they were quite yummy!! I am always surprised when a healthy recipe is tastey lol Thanks!

    4. Mrs January says:

      Dawn, sure you could!

    5. Dawn says:

      Or, could I use wheat germ instead??

    6. Dawn says:

      My daughter is fussy and will not eat coconut. Can I substitute more quick cooking oats?

    7. Debbie says:

      My coworker made these today at work and they were super yummy…because of nut allergies she used FreeNut butter…so close in taste to peanut butter.Great little energy boosters.

    8. Mrs January says:

      Stacey: The flax seed just makes them healthier, they are not necessarily “required”. You can just double up on coconut. :)

    9. Stacey says:

      Do you think it will work without the ground flax seed? It is the only ingredient I do not have in the house.

    10. Mrs January says:

      Rhetta: If you are not going to eat them all right away, then I would suggest keeping them in the fridge, yes. Otherwise, they can get all soft and mushy.

      Cheryl: It sure will! Any nut butter will work. I’ve used almond butter before and it was just as yummy.

    11. Amy says:

      I made these today. Delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

    12. Cheryl says:

      Do you happen to know if natural PB will work?

    13. marcy says:

      I am going to have to try these. Thanks!

    14. Rhetta says:

      This may sound silly, but do you need to store these in the fridge?

    15. Brianne says:

      Thanks for posting this recipe! I cannot wait to try it with my son.. I have been wanting to make him a treat like this for awhile but I try not to feed him too much sugar…he is full of energy as it is so these will be great!!!! AND I already have all the ingredients on hand so that’s even better :)
      I always appreciate you posting your recipes and love trying them out!
