Kate's Peanut Butter Power Balls
These easy no-bake Peanut Butter Power balls are a big seller every week here in the shop from both customers and staff. They are delicious straight from the fridge, the perfect chocolate, nutty energy hit you need at any time of the day. Perfect for when you want something small to get you through a mid-day slump or tide you over before your dinner. Small but mighty!
I have tagged in the brands we use below which are available in-store and work really well for us when making these power balls.
Ingredients
2 cups Jumbo Rolled Oats - Killbeggan
1/2 cup Cacao Powder- True Naturals
1/2 cup Chia Seeds - True Naturals
3/4 cup Honey - Knocknarea or Coolera
250g Smooth Peanut Butter - Biona Organic
1tsp Vanilla
Pinch Sea Salt
Method
- Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl - Oats, Chia, Cacao, Salt and mix together.
- In a saucepan add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla
- Heat slowly, at a low heat using a whisk all the time to take out any lumps. Do this until the mixture falls off the whisk and is silky smooth. The mixture should be warm enough to dip your finger in without burning yourself.
- When smooth add to the dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated
- Divide out into portions - we measure each one - and roll into balls, place on a tray and cool in the fridge.
- Optional extra- we melt a little dark chocolate and drizzle over as an extra treat!

A little tip - make sure not to overheat the peanut butter mixture in step 3!
