Peanut Butter Oat Balls

Nut Butter Swap: If you’re not a fan of peanut butter, try using almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for a different flavor and texture.
Add-ins: Customize your oat balls by adding ingredients like dried cranberries, raisins, or coconut flakes for extra sweetness. For a crunchier texture, consider adding chia seeds or chopped nuts.
Protein Boost: For an added protein boost, mix in a scoop of your favorite protein powder. This can be especially useful for post-workout recovery.
Sweetener Alternatives: If you prefer a different sweetener, you can substitute honey with agave nectar, coconut sugar, or even stevia for a sugar-free version.
FAQs:

Can I make these oat balls without honey?
Yes, you can use maple syrup, agave nectar, or even mashed banana as a sweetener instead of honey.

How do I prevent the oat balls from being too sticky?
If the mixture is too sticky, try chilling it for 10-15 minutes before rolling. You can also add a bit more oats or ground flaxseed to help with consistency.

Can I use old-fashioned oats instead of rolled oats?
Yes, old-fashioned oats work just as well in this recipe. Just be sure to check the consistency as they may absorb moisture differently.

Can I add protein powder to the recipe?

Are these oat balls gluten-free?
Yes, as long as you use certified gluten-free oats, these oat balls are completely gluten-free.
