Keep scrolling for the full recipe and measurements! We'll start here with a quick overview!
- Measure 2 cups of whole grain oats into a small mixing bowl.
- Add peanut butter and honey. Mix well.
- Stir in your chopped pecans, chia seeds & chocolate chips (I highly recommend Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Chips - they are SOOO good).

Handy tips for this recipe:
- Feel free to get creative with this recipe, lots of different mix-ins go well with whole oats and peanut butter! You can use walnuts, pine nuts, chopped dates, cranberries, white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, chocolate chunks, agave, flax seeds and so much more!
- If your dough is too crumbly and you're having trouble rolling it into balls, mix in a bit more peanut butter or a tablespoon of cold water. Additional moisture will make the dough more moldable.
- If you have a little extra time, you can press your dough into a parchment paper lined baking sheet and chill for about an hour. Remove dough by pulling parchment paper up out of the dish. Cut into squares to make oatmeal bars!
- A cookie scoop is very helpful for portioning out your peanut butter oatmeal balls. This is the one I use. It's a small, 1 tablespoon sized scoop. It works great and it's affordable!
