You have seen these all over Pinterest right?? Well, I looked and looked and didn’t LOVE any of the recipes, so I put some of them together and came up with these lovelies. They are my new favorite snack and the kids love them. Bonus…until they eat all of them. I’m limited on my snacks around here because of my dairy allergy, so I often have to yell, “HANDS OFF LITTLE ONE”.
So, I’ll share my recipe. These are high in protein and flavor. Double bonus. This makes a lot too, so 1/2 the recipe if ya like.
- 1 cup peanut butter (organic yummy is what I used)
- 2/3 cup honey (raw honey if ya got it. Throw that Bear in the trash!)
- 2 cups rolled oats
- some flax
- some protein powder
- some chocolate (spring for the good Ghirardelli chocolate if you can!)
- some craisins
You will notice the measurement “some.” Well, this is because I just sort of throw some in there. Not really measuring. You will see… On with it.
Do you guys have that fun Pampered Chef measuring thingy?!! It’s the best ever! Perfect for honey and peanut butter.
Get them oats rolled!! I mean because you have a fancy oat roller right!? Do you even know what oats look like before they are rolled?? Okay, well, if not old fashioned oats will do in a pinch 
Then the flax and protein powder. I tend to do 2 scoops of each. This protein powder is super yummy for those who can’t have dairy. It’s the only one I like as a drink too.
Last up is the chocolate and the craisins. I chop up my chips and throw about a handful or two of craisins in.
Then mix it all up. Either hands or a Kitchen Aid work best. Until it looks like this.
Last is to roll into balls. I like to grab a bit and squeeze it in my hands to compact it and then roll those bad boys up! Walla!
I put mine on a cookie sheet into the fridge and once they are nice and hard, I put them into a container together and leave them in the fridge. So yum! Enjoy
**You can also add all sorts of things to this that you like… nuts, coconut (ewww), raisins, whatevs!
