Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (90 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup (125 grams) natural peanut butter
- ¼ cup (85 grams) honey
Optional Variations:
- Optional: maple syrup (for vegan option)
Instructions
- Thoroughly mix rolled oats, creamy peanut butter, and golden honey in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Assess the consistency of the mixture, gently folding and pressing the ingredients together with a silicone spatula or clean hands.
- If the blend appears crumbly and lacks cohesion, gradually introduce additional peanut butter or honey, stirring carefully to maintain a balanced texture.
- Conversely, should the mixture feel overly adhesive or wet, sprinkle extra oats incrementally and knead until achieving a moldable, uniform composition.
- Using clean palms, delicately roll the mixture into compact, uniform spheres approximately one inch in diameter, applying gentle, consistent pressure.
- For enhanced presentation and flavor, optionally roll completed orbs in supplementary toppings like crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or miniature chocolate chips.
- Transfer the finished peanut butter oatmeal spheres to a parchment-lined container and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to solidify their structure and intensify their flavor profile.
- Store the energy-packed treats in a sealed container within the refrigerator, where they will maintain optimal texture and taste for up to one week.
Notes
- Choose creamy or natural peanut butter for smoother texture and better binding of ingredients.
- Add a pinch of salt to enhance the overall flavor profile and balance sweetness from honey.
- Roll balls in optional coatings like cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut for extra crunch and visual appeal.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, allowing flavors to meld and maintain firm consistency.
