Recipe of the Week: Peanut Butter and Jelly Oat Balls

The following recipe for Peanut Butter and Jelly Oat Balls is from SurvivalBlog reader A.S..  It requires no cooking. A.S. notes:  “If you substitute Nutella for the jelly, then you get something that tastes a bit like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.”

Ingredients
  • 1-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats, divided
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 6 teaspoons of jam, jelly, or Nutella chocolate cream
Directions
  1. Combine 1 cup oats, peanut butter, and confectioners’ sugar until well blended.
  2. Shape dough into 1-1/4-inch diameter balls.
  3. Flatten the balls into 1/4-inch thick discs.
  4. Place 1/2 teaspoon of jam in center of one disc; wrap dough around jam.
  5. Pinch edges to seal; re-shape into a ball. Repeat with remaining jam and dough.
  6. Roll the balls in the remaining oats.
  7. Chill the separated balls for 30 minutes on waxed paper or cooking parchment on a platter or cookie sheet, in your refrigerator.  No cooking required!
