Notes
Tips and tricks
- Chill before rolling - Setting the oatmeal peanut butter mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes makes it much easier to roll into balls. If you’re short on time, pop the mixture into the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Wet your hands - Rolling the balls by hand? Dampen your hands with water to keep the dough from sticking.
- If the energy bite dough seems dry - Add a splash of water, maple syrup, or more peanut butter for extra moisture.
- To make peanut butter oatmeal bars - If you prefer bars to bites, simply press the mixture into a square parchment-lined baking dish, chill in the fridge until solid, then cut into bars.
