Peanut Butter and Jelly Balls – so easy, so yummy, & healthy too… Perfect for snacks and lunches too!
Peanut Butter & Jelly Balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup honey
- 1-1/4 cup peanut butter creamy,crunchy, or natural – take your pick
- 1.5 cups dry powdered milk
- 3 cups quick or old fashioned oats
- 4 tablespoons flax seed
- 1/2-3/4 cup jelly or jam or your choice
Instructions
- Using an electric mixer, combine the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Take a tablespoon worth of the peanut butter mixture and flatten it out by pressing it in between your hands making a 2″ around ‘pancake’ shape. Using your thumb, create a slight indentation of the center of your ‘pancake’. Drop 1/2 teaspoon of jelly into the indentation, and fold up the sides. Create another small circle with the peanut butter mixture and press it down on the top of the ball, and roll it around in your hands to tighten & seal. Repeat with the remaining dough & jelly. Place the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with wax paper & place it into the freezer for 30 minutes, or until set. Remove, & place the balls in a large container or resealable plastic bag & store in the refrigerator.
Is there something you can sub for the powdered milk?
Hmm, that one is a hard one. I’ve heard of people subbing coconut milk powder for powdered milk, but that’s the only substitution I can think of. Or, you can try adding a few tablespoons of regular milk instead and see how that turns out.
Protein powder might work😊
