Description

My kids love helping me whip up these energizing no bake peanut butter oatmeal balls with almond flour, honey, flax and cinnamon. Loaded with healthy fats, 5g protein, and fiber to keep little (and big) bellies full and happy. Simply mix in a bowl for the perfect texture--no food processor required! I like that a batch makes over 20 balls, so they'll last all week long.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt* (more if you like salt like me!)
  • 1/3 cup natural salted peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp milk of choice (more if needed)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup collagen peptides, 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Place oats, almond flour, flax, optional collagen, salt, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. 
  2. Add peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and milk. Use clean hands to to fully combine. You can also stir in 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips!
  3. Wet hands so you can easily roll then form into 22-24 bites, wetting again when needed. Store in the fridge for 1 week; I love them frozen, too!

Notes

Chocolate version: You can easily give these a chocolate vibe! Simply cut down oats to 1 3/4 cups and add 1/4 cup cacao powder.

*I like these with 1/2 tsp salt but I love salt!
