Right now, my lifeline food is peanut butter balls. I need something filling, and not terrible to keep me full, especially right before bed. I thought I’d share my recipe with you, in case you’re looking for a handy snack.
The recipe is for one batch. However, every week, I make a quadruple batch (I average about 4 peanut butter balls a day, as a snack or meal, but occasionally do that twice) to get me through a full 7 days.
Lindsay’s Peanut Butter Balls:
1 C nut butter
1/2 C Carnation dry milk powder
1/2 C mini chocolate chips
1/4 C honey
graham crackers, ground
- Put all ingredients, except graham crackers, in a bowl and mix well.
- Using your hands, or a scoop, form into 1-3 inch balls.
- Roll balls in crushed graham crackers.
- Put in the fridge to enjoy later, or in the freezer for an hour to enjoy sooner. Then keep in the fridge.
Tips:
- I personally like to use a mix of cashew and peanut butter
- Also, I have found that any other brand of dry milk powder is not fine enough, and doesn’t mix well
- I’ve though of using oat flour as a dry milk replacement, but haven’t yet (though you’re welcome to give that a go)
There you have it, my go-to fill-you-up snack! Give them a go, and let me know what you think!
