INGREDIENT NOTES:

ROLLED OATS:

  • They give structure and texture to the peanut butter balls. Oats make the mixture chewy & provide fiber, which keeps you full longer. You may use quick oats if rolled oats are not available.

NATURAL PEANUT BUTTER:

  • We use this as the main component to make your balls creamy, rich, and satisfying. It gives protein and healthy fats to the balls. Cashew butter is a good alternative for your balls.

HONEY:

  • Honey provides natural sweetness and holds your mixture together. It includes a soft texture to the balls. We may use maple syrup as another idea.

MINI CHOCOLATE CHIPS:

  • It gives little bursts of chocolate taste in every bite and makes your snack taste more like a dessert. We may use dark chocolate chips, raisins, or dried cranberries, as another idea.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • Vanilla extract provides warmth and sweetness to the balls. A small amount of vanilla extract makes the taste of peanut butter richer and more balanced. Almond extract is a good substitute for your dessert.

GROUND FLAXSEED:

  • It absorbs moisture and keeps your mixture firm while giving healthy nutrients. You may use chia seeds as per your choice.

UNSWEETENED COCOA POWDER:

  • We use it to provide a light chocolate taste without including extra sugar in your balls. Unsweetened cocoa powder maintains the sweetness and makes the dessert taste richer. You may eliminate it to make a plain peanut butter taste or use powdered peanut butter for a different twist.

SALT:

  • Salt helps to improve the taste and maintain the sweetness to make the taste of your balls better. Sea salt is a good alternative, as per your preference.
