Welcome to Homestead Corner. I'm Jenny and today we are going to be whipping up some three-ingredient peanut butter energy balls.

I'm going to use about 2/3 of a cup of creamy peanut butter. Dig that out and throw it in our bowl.

I'm going to use 1/3 cup of maple syrup. Mix this and get it a little bit combined before we add our oats.

Now I'm going to add 2 cups of quick oats to the bowl. Mix until it's all combined together.

Once everything comes into a nice big clump and it's all sticking together, that's it. That's the hard part.

Take a spoon or a cookie scoop to make little bite-sized balls and pop them down on a parchment-lined sheet.

Once all the balls are made, toss these in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour to firm up.

After 30 minutes or so, your peanut butter bites are ready to go.
