Directions
-
Place the flour and oatmeal into a blender and grind for about 30 seconds to create a fine, powdery mixture.
-
Transfer the dry mixture to a large mixing bowl and add 1 cup of water, stirring to combine.
-
Add the white corn syrup, peanut butter, nonfat dry milk, and confectioner's sugar to the bowl.
-
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until a cohesive dough begins to form.
-
Knead the dough by hand for several minutes until it is smooth and pliable.
-
If the dough is too sticky, add more flour or powdered milk, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
-
Set out small bowls of mix-ins like chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, sunflower seeds, or peanuts for decorating the dough creations.
-
For a honey variation, mix 16 oz of peanut butter with 6 tablespoons of honey, then add dry milk or flour until not sticky.
-
Important: Do not feed honey to children under 1 year old due to the risk of food poisoning.
