Peanut butter oat balls

Recipes Snack Cookies Sugar-free

I could eat these healthy peanut butter oat balls all day. They're packed with protein and sweetened with dates, so they're free of refined sugars. The fat from the peanut butter and the peanuts helps the fruit sugars in the dates be absorbed more gradually, preventing blood sugar spikes. Especially for athletes who can use extra protein to help their muscles recover, these peanut butter oat balls are a really great snack.

Equipment

Kitchen scale

Airtight container

Ingredients

150 grams pitted Medjool dates
100 grams rolled oats (gluten-free)
2 tablespoons peanut butter
40 grams unsalted peanuts
50 ml water

Peanut butter oat balls

Put the pitted dates, rolled oats, peanuts, peanut butter and water into the food processor and let it run for a few minutes.
The mixture should stick together well but not be too wet. If it is too wet, add some more oats and run the food processor again.
Roll the mixture into balls about the size of a bouncy ball. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They're ideal as a quick snack between meals and after exercise, since they contain a good amount of protein.

Pay attention to which peanut butter you use; preferably the organic nut butter without additives from the health food store. But regular peanut butter will do as well — it typically contains no added sugar. If you need to watch your blood sugar closely because of diabetes, you can replace the dates with stevia powder. In that case, experiment more with the proportions, because the 'dough' will lack the structure that the dates provide.

These peanut butter balls are a delicious and nourishing snack that you can easily make in advance. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge so you always have a healthy snack on hand. Perfect after exercising or whenever you need a quick energy boost!

Gluten-free kruidnoten

The oats make these pepernoten just a little bit healthier. The whole-grain oats not only give them a delicious, lightly nutty flavor, but also a satisfying bite that pairs perfectly with the spiced speculaas mix. On top of that they're packed with fiber. Healthy, spicy and surprisingly tasty — these are pepernoten 2.0!
