Lower Calorie Oatmeal Rasin PB Balls

Lower Calorie Oatmeal Rasin PB Balls

I can’t believe I haven’t used raisins in any of my ball recipes yet.

It’s weird…whenever I see a recipe that has raisins in it, I automatically classify it as healthy. Like Oatmeal Raisin Cookies or Fruit Cake. It just sounds healthy, but is it?

Now that I got my random thought of the day out there, I wanted to make a pb ball that didn’t have as many calories as my typical ball. You don’t really need THAT much honey to sweeten things, so I halved it and substituted the rest for h20.

Honestly, the balls stuck better with half water AND tasted just as good!

Lower Calorie Oatmeal Raisin PB Balls

Yields: 12-13 balls (mine made 13)

Ingredients

• 1C oats ground into oat flour
• 1/4C peanut butter, smooth
• 1/8C honey
• 1/8C water
• 1/3C raisins

Method

1. In a small food processor, process oats for 15-20 seconds, turning your oats in to oat flour.
2. Add the rest of your ingredients and process for about a minute, or until it becomes doughy. (You may need to add a squirt more of honey (or even water to save calories) if it is still too dry.)
3. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and role between your palms forming a ball.
