Description
These easy peanut butter bliss balls are a no-bake, naturally sweet snack made from simple pantry ingredients. Perfect as a quick snack, lunchbox treat, or healthy dessert, they combine creamy peanut butter, rolled oats, and a touch of honey or maple syrup for sweetness. Mini chocolate chips add a delightful texture and flavor, while optional flaxseed or chia seeds provide a nutritious boost.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients into a medium mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until all components are fully combined and form a thick dough-like consistency.
- Chill Mixture: If the mixture feels too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes to make it easier to scoop and roll.
- Scoop and Shape: Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls with your hands.
- Store: Place the bliss balls in an airtight container and refrigerate to keep fresh. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
Notes
- If the mixture feels dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of peanut butter or honey to improve texture.
- To make nut-free bliss balls, replace peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
- These bliss balls can be frozen and kept for up to 3 months without losing quality.
- For added texture and flavor, roll the balls in shredded coconut flakes before chilling.
