Graham Cracker Peanut Butter Balls

You know how as a parent, there are weeks when it seems like you can only eat with one hand? Me too. This recipe is helpful because you can pop one into your mouth to satisfy hunger or a craving, easy peasy. Plus, you can make them in about 5-minutes without any special equipment, which makes them even better in my book!

I like to make these as a make-ahead snack option for myself and the kids, or for a healthy dessert option. My toddler often helps me stir the batter together and roll up the balls too.

Ingredients You Need

To make this recipe, you need:

TIP: We like these with chocolate chips, but dried fruit work too. You can also leave them plain.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Here’s a look at how to make this recipe. Scroll down to the bottom of this post for the full information.

1. Add the ingredients to a bowl.
2. Stir together well.
3. Add the chocolate chips or dried fruit, if desired.
4. Roll into balls.

TIP: You can coat in additional graham cracker crumbs if desired.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, these are best if they’ve chilled for at least 30 minutes (which helps the oats to soften), but you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Are these the same as Graham Balls?

They have a sort of similar flavor, but they have different ingredients. (Graham Balls usually are made with sweetened condensed milk.)

How can I make these nut-free?

You can swap sunflower seed butter in for the peanut butter if you’d like.

Tips for Making the Best Graham Cracker Peanut Butter Balls

• Use smooth, natural-style peanut butter at room temperature.
• Use honey at room temperature.
• Use mini chocolate chips or chop up regular sized ones for the best distribution of chocolate flavor.
• Let chill for 30 minutes before eating so the oats can soften a bit.
• Roll balls in additional graham cracker crumbs if you like.
• Gluten-free: Use GF graham cracker crumbs if desired.
• Nut-free: Use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
