Substitution Ideas

These no bake oatmeal raisin balls are easy to customize. You can use chocolate chips instead of raisins or you could keep the raisins and add some chocolate chips.

Dried fruit would be another fun swap or add-in.

Use any kind of peanut butter, like crunchy, plain, or sweetened. It’s up to you. You can also use almond butter, cashew butter, sun butter, etc.

You could go wild and add in a sprinkle of ground cinnamon to compliment the raisins.
