Ingredients You’ll Need
Quick or Rolled Oats: The base that gives structure and chew.
Peanut Butter: Adds richness and helps bind everything together.
Honey or Maple Syrup: Natural sweetness and moisture.
Milk: Softens the oats and creates a dough-like texture.
Cinnamon]: Warm, cozy flavor.
Salt: Enhances the sweetness and balances flavors.
How to Make Cinnamon Oat Balls (Step by Step)
Step 1 – Mix:
In a bowl, combine oats, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), milk, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 2 – Adjust texture:
The mixture should feel like soft cookie dough.
• If too dry: add 1 teaspoon milk at a time.
• If too wet: add 1 tablespoon oats.
Step 3 – Roll:
Roll into about 12 small balls.
Step 4 – Chill (optional):
Refrigerate 15–20 minutes if you prefer them firmer.
