Skinny-tized 8 Calorie PB2 Buckeyes



I LOVE peanut butter, especially with chocolate. I decided to Skinny-tize those "Buckeyes", or Peanut Butter balls you see at potlucks and on Pinterest.

I used PB2, Stevia, Almond Milk, Cocoa Powder, and Oat flour to make these, so they have NO OIL.  That makes them a little sticky when you are making them so I would suggest refrigerating the peanut butter mixture before rolling into balls, and storing these in the refrigerator. These are also gluten free and dairy free!!


Recipe: (Makes 14 small Buckeyes, or 7 larger Buckeyes)


4 tablespoons PB2 - 90 cal
2 teaspoons Stevia - 0
1 teaspoon Oat Flour - 7.5 cal
2 tablespoons Almond Milk - 5 cal
1 1/2 tsp Cocoa Powder - 10 cal          
= 112.5 calories for whole recipe - 8 calories per small Buckeye (makes 14), or 16 calories per large Buckeye(makes 7)

1. Mix together the PB2, Stevia, and Oat flour
2. Add the Almond Milk, and stir until combined into a smooth batter
3. Refrigerate about 20 minutes
4. Take teaspoon sized amounts and roll into balls using your palms (for larger Buckeyes use 2 teaspoons of batter per ball)
5. Roll the balls individually in a dish of Cocoa Powder
6. Refrigerate, and enjoy!
