A great snack and easy to make. The kids can even help make the balls.
Peanut Butter Balls
Mix together in a medium bowl:
1 C. Peanut butter
3/4 C. honey
Add:
3 C. quick oats
Mix in, along with any extras you want to add. We usually do:
1/2 C. ground flax seed
1/2 or 3/4 C chocolate chips
1/2 or 3/4 C craisins
We've done sunflower seeds, too.
After it all is mixed together, make 1-inch balls and refrigerate. If the mixture is especially sticky refrigerate for 15 minutes, then make the balls.
This is one of my kids' favorite snacks (along with granola bars). We go through a batch every week. Or sometimes in two days. :)
In August 2010 my husband was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. And thus launched our foray into the gluten-free world. Then in July 2013 our third child was also diagnosed. We are a gluten-free home and lovin' it. I don't claim to be a gourmet cook, more like a lazy cook. The fewer ingredients, the better. If you're a lazy cook, too, welcome to my world!
