Description
Sweet, chewy, and full of protein, these no-bake butterscotch balls make the perfect grab-and-go breakfast or snack. Quick to prep, full of oats and nut butter, and bursting with buttery butterscotch flavor.
Ingredients
2 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy), microwaved for 30 seconds
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup butterscotch chips
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
1. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl until well mixed.
2. Chill the mixture in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight until firm.
3. After chilling, shape the mixture into small, compact balls using your hands.
4. Place finished balls on parchment paper to avoid sticking.
5. Store in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
To fix a wet mixture, add oats one tablespoon at a time.
If too dry, add more honey gradually.
Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing.
Cool the mixture before adding butterscotch chips to avoid melting.
Optional mix-ins include chia seeds, mini chocolate chips, or other nuts.
Avoid using steel-cut oats; they won’t bind properly.
