STORAGE INFORMATION

Fridge:

  • Preserve the tasty oatmeal balls in a covered vessel and refrigerate them for five days. It’s best to consume balls within three to five days.

  • Shift the balls in a sealed plastic pouch and freeze them for more than sixty days. I advise freezing the balls on a plate first, and then putting them in a plastic pouch when they are frozen to ensure they do not cling together.

FAQs

Which types of oats are best for this recipe?

  • Rolled oats are typically suggested due to their desirable texture. You can use quick oats, but the consistency may change. Steel-cut oats are not advised.

Does natural peanut butter work well with this recipe?

  • You can utilize natural peanut butter, but remember that this peanut butter will modify the taste and appearance of the balls.

What should I do to protect the balls from getting very firm?

  • It can be helpful to chill the mixture before rolling. Another option is to use a tiny bit of coconut oil or lightly moisten your hands before rolling.
