Oatmeal Peanut Butter Balls
Serves: 12 balls
 
Ingredients
  • ⅔ cup peanut butter (I use ⅓ cup creamy and ⅓ cup chunky)
  • 1 cup quick cooking oats, uncooked
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 full graham crackers, finely crushed
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Stir well with a spoon. Once mixture starts coming together, use your hands to work the mixture until it's all combined (it helps to spray hands with cooking spray first because it is sticky).
  2. Divide peanut butter mixture with your hands into four equal sections (you will make 3 balls out of each section). Spoon out a heaping Tablespoon and roll in hands to form a 1½" ball (use more cooking spray on hands if mixture is too sticky). Place all peanut butter balls on a plate, cover and refrigerate for a couple hours. Store in refrigerator.
Notes
Feel free to cut recipe in half if you just want a few in the house. It doesn't really matter whether you use creamy or chunky pb, but if I had to pick one, I do think the chunky gives it a better texture.
