Yummy, high in protein, and so satiating! How I love every variation of thee!! And I’ve just discovered two more!!! I wanted to wait until the first of the two was available online before posting about them and Wondertime has updated it’s recipes, so here we go!
Powerball Cookies – SOoooooo good!!
Makes 40-48 cookies
Mix together 1 cup peanut butter and 1 cup honey until smooth. Gradually add in 3 cups old fashioned oats and 1/2 cup ground flaxseed. Add 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup any
combination of nuts and soft dried fruit(try 1/2 cup coarsely chopped peanuts and 1/4 cup each of raisins and dried cranberries) and mix gently in your stand mixer or smush together by hand.
Roll into Ping-Pong-size balls and, for maximum presentation value, put in paper mini muffin cups. You can eat them right away, but they’ll be less sticky after a night in the fridge. They freeze well too, layered on wax
I used Schmuckers Natural PB and lemme tell you… wow! Thanks Wondertime and thanks to my sister for recommending this recipe!
Peanut Butter and Honey “Truffles”
This recipe from Hold the Gluten tied for second place over at Peanut Butter Boy’s PB Exhibition #4 and it’s easy to see why!
1 cup DRY milk (I used non-fat)
1/2 cup peanut butter (Crazy Richards Chunky)
1/3 cup honey (local)
1/4 cup ground flax seed (Bob’s Red Mill)
Mix all ingredients together. Form into small balls. Roll balls in coconut, cinnamon & sugar, or cocoa mix. Refrigerate for 15 minutes and enjoy!
So simple! I love it (and loved eating it)!
I have a recipe similar to the second one. I have to agree – peanut butter balls are amazingly good! I want to try that first recipe – it sounds great with oats, chocolate chips, nuts, and fruit! Yum!
I have been a granola-bar eating fool here lately and I was thinking I needed to figure out how to make my own – so this is a perfect post!!! I’m booking marking it and will definitely be trying it soon. My mouth is literally watering looking at the powerballs!
Hey Anjanette! I'm so glad you enjoyed my recipe for Peanut Butter & Honey "Truffles". I loved making them as a little girl with my mom (didn't realize these were "healthy" treats!) and love making them today with my two little ones. What an awesome blog you have :)
OK…I am trying that first recipe TODAY! We love, love, love almost any granola bar or snack type food with oatmeal :). And I’m always looking for ways to mix it up! Thanks!
