These no bake oatmeal truffle balls are the perfect healthy on the go snack for kids and adults alike.
What’s the most important rule of traveling?
Pack good snacks!! This weekend marks number 3 of my 4 states in 4 weekends adventure. I’m not traveling far this time, but snacks are still a must.
I’m a little tired of granola bars, bags of dry cereal, and crackers, so I went with something a little more exciting this time around.
No Bake Oatmeal truffles! They couldn’t be easier: no baking, 4 or so ingredients, and healthy yet delicious. Depending on the brands you use, these are easily gluten-free and dairy-free.
Melt peanut butter and milk in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds until melted. Gently stir in chocolate chips. {I like mine to keep the chocolate “chunk” flavor- if you want them all around chocolately, stir until their entirely melted.}
Mix in oatmeal. Stir in a little bit at a time- it’s easier to add more oats than to add more peanut butter.
Peanut butter mixture should coat oats, but will still be a little crumbly.
Using your hands, form oats into 1 to 1 1/2 inch balls. Set on nonstick surface and place in the refrigerated until cooled.
They taste pretty good warm, but they get a little moister after sitting for a little while.
