I love these no bake honey peanut butter balls. They are such a tasty and quick snack to make. They’re great to pack in lunches, for road trips, hiking, or for an easy breakfast on the go.
Since there’s no baking needed these are also the perfect treat to make with kids. Plus, you can add in some extra mix ins like M&Ms, craisins, or raisins, if you like!

Ingredients needed
For this recipe, you will need:
- Oats: You can use quick or old fashioned.
- Salt: You’ll need just half of a teaspoon of salt but you can skip the salt if you are sodium sensitive.
- Cinnamon: To give the peanut butter balls some spice.
- Honey: To sweeten the balls.
- Peanut butter: I find that creamy peanut butter works best in this recipe. If you are using natural peanut butter, stir it well and you may need to add a few more tablespoons of oats.

These delicious little gems are currently in my freezer, for when I need a sweet little treat. I had to freeze then, otherwise I would have eaten them all the same day!

Just what I needed! This was hay cutting and baling week so that meant long hours in the hay field. I made these yesterday and packed them in a cooler with some ice. They were perfect and kept me going without having to stop for a big lunch. I added some dried cranberries.
