These bites deliver a wonderful balance of rich, salty peanut butter and the wholesome, earthy sweetness of oats, all bound by a sticky, satisfying chew. The final roll in crushed peanuts provides a fantastic nutty crunch that makes every mouthful utterly irresistible. These keep for at least a week in an airtight container at room temperature, or 2–3 weeks in the fridge.

    Warm the peanut butter and corn syrup for 15–20 seconds in the microwave.
  • Step 2
    Stir until smooth.
  • Step 3
    Stir in vanilla and salt.
  • Step 4
    Add the 1 cup of oats (and any crunch) to the bowl.
  • Step 5
    Mix well—it’ll look dry at first, then come together.
  • Step 6
    Let sit 5 minutes.

    Squeeze teaspoon-sized scoops tightly in your hand, then roll into balls.
  • Step 8
    Roll the balls in the crushed peanuts.
  • Step 9
    Chill for 20 minutes if you want them firmer.
  • Step 10
    Optional tweaks: Lightly toast the oats in a dry skillet for 3–4 minutes before mixing. Add 2–3 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips or raisins after mixing (when the mixture has cooled a bit).
