Microwave Chocolate Peanut Butter & Oat Snack Balls

suzieqdiva · March 2011

Microwave Chocolate Peanut Butter & Oat Snack Balls
(Multiplied by 4 – makes 30 balls - each 63 cals ONLY)

2 Tbsp Chocolate Chips
1/2 Tbsp Peanut Butter (or other nut butter)
2 Tbsp Soy Milk (or nut milk)
1/2 C Oats
Optional:
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Tbsp Sweetener (Agave)
1 Tbsp Other Dry Ingredients (coconut flakes, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, nuts, raisins, scoop of protein powder, etc.)

Directions:
Melt the first three ingredients together in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring and checking
Then add the Oats and any optional ingredients, stir to combine. (You want this mixture to be fairly dry. If it’s not dry enough, add more oats one tablespoon at a time)
Press mixture into bars or balls. Using a piece of plastic wrap on the inside of a square plastic container will save on dishes and cleanup.
Put in refrigerator or freezer for 10 minutes, or until bars/balls have set up. Slice or break apart.

It was really a protein/oat bar recipe.. but takes care of my sweet cravings.

OMG I've been craving these for awhile, and I think this will work for me, and I won't feel guilty eating them since they are low in calories!

Just an FYI... I get queasy when I have home made recipe's .. so I usually am using the recipe calculator here or at http://caloriecount.about.com/ to make sure I am counting correctly. So if you are adding or subtracting anything.. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT CALORIE COUNTS:-)

Good Luck
