Crunchy, chewy little balls of peanut buttery goodness - and they're so easy to make.
These no-bake peanut butter cookies are like a cross between a biscuit and a protein ball. As the name suggests - they don't need any time in the oven. You simple melt the butter and the golden syrup together to form a sticky binding with the peanut butter and then roll it up with the muesli. That's only four ingredients and you can have them ready to taste in just 30 minutes - including setting time. They're perfect for mid-morning snacks to boost your energy levels before lunch, or as a post exercise pep. If you're after a more traditional biscuit texture, try our classic peanut butter cookies instead.
Ingredients
- 60g (2oz) butter
