Steps

Mix the Base

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine and Form

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a uniform mixture forms. Stir in the mini chocolate chips. With wet hands, roll the mixture into about 12-15 small balls. If desired, roll them in shredded coconut.

Chill and Serve

Place the dessert bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. You can then enjoy them immediately or store them in an airtight container in the fridge.

Extra Tips

► If the mixture seems too dry, add a splash of plant-based milk or water until it's easy to roll.

► Experiment with different nut butters like almond butter or cashew butter for a varied flavor profile.

► Instead of shredded coconut, you can roll the bites in cocoa powder or finely chopped nuts for a different finish.
