At Graze Craze of Wyckoff, we absolutely love creating experiences that bring families and their furry companions together. One of our favorite moments during your recent event was seeing kids and pups nibbling happily side by side—whether it was fresh fruits and veggies or our crowd-favorite peanut butter oat ball treats.
These oat balls are not only quick and easy to make, but they’re also wholesome enough for kids and safe for pups (just be sure to use pet-safe ingredients). They’ve become a hit on our barkuterie board.
Peanut Butter Oat Balls
A wholesome snack for pups & their tiny humans
Ingredients:
-
¾ cup old-fashioned oats

Unsweetened shredded coconut
-
Finely grated carrots or apples
-
Crushed blueberries
-
A pinch of cinnamon
Instructions:
-
In a large bowl, stir together the oats, peanut butter, and honey until well combined.

Add in any mix-ins if desired.

Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough. Roll into 1-inch balls with your hands (wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking).
