There is something so incredibly satisfying when I create something, taste it, and then want to devour the whole thing. Don’t worry, I don’t. But it makes me want to take photos and post a blog immediately. I restrain myself from doing that though.
But, I must admit, it happened again when I made these raw peanut butter balls.
While I am working up a sweat on the treadmill, my mind often drifts to my love affair with food. What can I make that is pleasing to the palate, and something that I can share with all of you? Kona is off to the side, working on a bone that I filled with peanut butter. Now, I think about peanut butter. I want to take a very large spoon, grab the jar of peanut butter and slowly, lick it off the spoon. As I tell myself to maintain, I decide that later I am making something peanut butter.
Oh that reminds me, I am reviewing the use of the hoo-rag. I wore it on the treadmill. Look for the review coming up this week, and a giveaway to receive one too.
Back to peanut butter. These raw treats are filled with nothing but goodness. They are addicting though. I wonder if I can double the batch and freeze them. Then take them out one at a time and pop them when that peanut butter craving hits me. Which is often, I must say.
Check them out.
- 1 cup Steel Cut Oats
- 1 cup non-fat dry powdered milk
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ⅛ cup wheat germ (optional)
- ¼ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- In a medium sized bowl, combine all the ingredients.
- Shape into balls.

- Your done!
What do you think? I think this one is share-worthy. Is that even a word?
So, there you have it. I am off to a great start for healthier blog posts. Sarah I promise more veggies Keep a look out for my baked shrimp and veggie tempura recipe soon. No mushrooms will be used in the making of this recipe.

This looks really yummy- what can I substitute for non-fat powdered milk?
Hi Jean. Let me think about what you can use as a sub for the dry milk. Perhaps crushed graham cracker or increase the amount of wheat germ. I don’t know how it will taste though. So if you do sub it with something let me know how they turn out
