Read my disclosure.Ingredients
- 2 cups of old Fashion oatmeal - oats uncooked
- 1 1/2 cups of Natural Peanut Butter
- 3/4 cup of honey
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate morsels
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a large bowl. ( If desired: use food processor to grind up oatmeal first - do it before adding in other ingredients)
- Use a large spoon to stir the mixture. You want to mix everything together with no dry spots. If the mixture is too sticky - add a little more oatmeal. If too crumbly, add a little more peanut butter.
- Use your hands to roll the mixture into small balls and place in a flat pan. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
- When firm, store the bites in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 7 - 10 days. For longer storage - freeze.
Notes
These are a great quick snack for those times when you really need one.
They are also a good way to incorporate some honey in your diet.
If they are too sticky for you - experiment with the ratio of oatmeal to peanut butter. And don't get carried away with the honey - it is easy to put too much.
** Allergy Alert - If you are allergic to peanut butter - substitute another type of nut butter instead.
