I wanted to share a quick, easy treat before the weekend, and these Peanut Butter Honey Truffles seemed like the perfect choice. I make a batch of these little snacks every so often and keep them in the fridge. I learned to make them back in elementary school at a summer day camp. Once a week, between tie die and ceramics class, they would teach us a new recipe. We made easy things like granola and trail mix. Of all the recipes we learned, I liked these truffles the best. They’re made from simple, natural, unprocessed ingredients– peanut butter, oats, honey, and coconut. What could be bad?
Back in camp we made the truffles with whole oats, but over the years I’ve discovered that I like them better when I blend the oats to a powder. They’re perfect for when I need a little protein pick-me-up. The honey satisfies my sweet tooth, and the peanut butter satiates my hunger. They’re very filling; a couple of truffles totally tide me over between meals. They’re also gluten free if you use GF certified oats. They’re really easy to make and you can get the kids involved– they’ll have fun rolling the truffles with you. It’s simple, unprocessed snack food you can feel good about. Shabbat shalom!

This recipe was one of the best.
Rolled them in cocoa powder and they are delicious! Also used 2 Tbsp of honey and no salt since my peanut butter tasted salty to begin with.
Is there another topping you can think of other than coconut shredding to coat the truffles in? Not a big coconut fan 😝
Dried peanut butter powder might work! Or almond flour. 🙂
Hi,
I am wondering if these can be made ahead of time and frozen and saved for a big event? Or if refrigerated, how long begore the event wii they stull be good? Thanks.
There is no reason why you can not freeze them for up to a month. Just put them in a container that has an air tight top one it.
im gonna makw these now but roll half in coconut and the other in chocolate 🙂 thank you … i wonder if it would taste good if i toasted the coconut in the oven 😀
Tiffy I love toasted coconut! Go for it! 🙂
can you replace the oats with regular flour?
I’ve never tried that, so I’m not sure. I really like the texture of the oats, flour might make it a bit boring… but if you decide to try it please let us know how it goes!
I just made them! 😀 awesome they were! 😀
