1628. Peanut Butter Oat Balls

With a black coffee first thing in the morning, these peanut butter oat balls are a feel-good way to start your day. Loaded with hidden nutrients, they taste more of a treat than a service for your health. 

I do like to take the extra step of roasting and cooling the oats, simply because I don't quite like the idea of consuming raw oats, plus the roasting gives an added depth of flavor.

Ingredients:

⅔ cup creamy peanut butter (160 g)

1 cup old fashion oat (100 g)

1 ½ Tbsp honey

2 Tbsp chia seeds

50g dark chocolate

¼ cup flax seed, powdered

Method:

Toast the oats in a 350F oven for 8-10 minutes; allow to cool completely.

In a food processor, pulverize the oats and chocolate as fine or as rough as you prefer.

Mix in all the other ingredients until well-combined.

Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator 30 minutes.

Once done chilling, roll into approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) balls. (Cover hands in a light layer of butter or oil to facilitate rolling and avoid getting sticky hands.) Store refrigerated in an air-tight container for up to 2-3 weeks.
