Peanut Butter Energy Balls
I discovered this recipe for No Bake Oatmeal Peanut Butter Balls several years ago. The kids really loved them, but I struggled to make them because they were so hard to mix by hand. Then I discovered that I could mix them using my 8 quart Kitchenaid mixer. This recipe is the absolute maximum that my 8 quart bowl can handle, so if you have a smaller mixer, you will need to at least halve the recipe. I also added protein powder for a little protein boost and adjusted the liquid added accordingly. I make these once a week. They are the perfect lunch staple, afternoon snack, or anytime pick me up. Hope you enjoy! Peanut Butter Energy Balls 8 cups quick oats 4 1/2 cups peanut butter 1 1/4 cups honey 1 cup vanilla protein powder (I use this one) 1 1/4 cups mini chocolate chips Place all ingredients except chocolate chips in mixer and mix on low until combined. Add chocolate chips and mix until incorporated. Shape into 1 inch balls....
