Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly using a spatula or wooden spoon until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Gently fold in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 10-15 minutes to help it firm up slightly, which will make it easier to form into balls.
- Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and use clean hands to roll the mixture into uniform-sized balls, approximately 1-
- 5 inches in diameter.
- If the mixture is too sticky, lightly wet your hands with cold water or coat them with a small amount of cooking spray to prevent the mixture from sticking.
- Place the formed cookie balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
- For best results, refrigerate the cookie balls for an additional 30 minutes to help them set and develop a firmer texture.
- Store the no-bake oatmeal raisin cookie balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
Tips
- Customize Your Mix-ins: Feel free to get creative! Swap out the raisins for chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts to tailor the flavor to your liking.
- Chill for Better Texture: Allowing the mixture to chill for 10-15 minutes before rolling makes it easier to handle and results in firmer cookie balls.
- Keep Your Hands Moist: If the mixture sticks to your hands while rolling, lightly wet them with cold water or use a bit of cooking spray to make the process smoother.
- Storage Matters: For optimal freshness, store your cookie balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last up to a week, making them a perfect grab-and-go snack.
- Perfect Portions: Use a cookie scoop or your hands to ensure uniform-sized balls, which helps with even chilling and makes for a visually appealing treat.
