If you don’t think you’ll eat all of the peanut butter oat balls in a week, these energy balls do freeze very well. In fact, I will make them and keep them in the freezer, and when I want one I will take it out and it’s soft enough to eat in just a few minutes!

I ended up adding a bit more peanut butter to ‘glue’ the ingredients together. Instead of honey, I used rice syrup. It was hard to roll into balls so I ended up just passing the ingredients into balls.
These taste very good. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
SO yum! Do you happen to have the nutritional value of these? Thanks!!
Hi Meredith, I just recently became able to add info to my recipes so I just updated the post with the nutritional info. If you make 12 energy bites they are about 250 calories a piece. Obviously, if they are smaller they will be less but I like mine on the bigger side! Hope that helps, ~Melissa
I made these today but they didn’t easily roll in to a ball or stay together very well. Could the fact that I used crunchy peanut butter (the only kind I had on hand) be the problem?
Making these right now with a few tweaks based on whats in my pantry. Can’t Wait to try them!
I hope you like them Brittany! ~Melissa
Glad to say they were a hit this morning! Mine included almond slivers and salted caramel chips. Thanks for the inspiration!
Sounds delicious! I may need to go make a batch now, I’m glad you enjoyed them Brittany! ~Melissa
I wanted to pin your article re stainless steel appliances and avoiding fingerprints on them. I don’t know if you are aware that your site is so slow in loading images to pin, that I just decided not to pin at all. Could it be that even when I opened the article on waxing the refrigerator, there were still too many other images to load…I wonder if that is why it was so slow. I’M just saying after I read an article, if I like it, I might pin it. But yours took too long
BTW, it didn’t ever load the photos despite going back to it 2 additional times. In the meantime, I pinned 3 or 4 other peoples’ sites.
