Peanut Butter Bites


I like fattening foods and desserts.  But I also enjoy healthy food.  I have fun trying vegan, gluten-free and raw food recipes.  This is a recipe I adapted slightly from Chocolate-Covered Katie.  I want to try some more of her desserts.  Have you had any good recipes like this one?  My favorite raw food treat is still my tropical fruit bar.

Peanut Butter Bites
Adapted from Chocolate-Covered Katie
(printable recipe)
1/4 cup natural creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon raisins
2 heaping tablespoons honey roasted peanuts (dry roasted)
2 teaspoons oat bran
1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder
1/8 teaspoon vanilla

Put all ingredients into your food processor and combine until smooth.  You will have to scrape down several times and repeatedly pulse.  Roll into 1 inch balls and press a criss cross pattern with fork. Refrigerate at least one hour.

  1. YUM! Anything with PB is a winner in my book. I have chocolate protein powder and I am definitely making these with that!
