FAQ'S FOR THIS NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL BALLS RECIPE
1. Can I use any type of peanut butter for this recipe?
Yes! Both natural and conventional peanut butters work, but the consistency will affect the texture. If the mixture is too dry or crumbly, just add more peanut butter until it holds together.
2. Are these energy balls freezer-friendly?
They sure are. Place them in a sealed container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying.
3. What can I use instead of chocolate chips?
Feel free to swap in chopped dried fruit, raisins, or extra nuts and seeds for a different flavor and texture.
4. Can I make these without flax or chia seeds?
Yes. While both add nutrition and help bind the mixture, you can omit them or substitute with extra oats, coconut flakes, or another dry ingredient of your choice.
