ingredients

4 Servings
180 g Gluten-free rolled oats
120 g Creamy peanut butter
80 g Maple syrup
25 g Unsweetened cocoa powder
50 g Vegan chocolate chips
5 ml Vanilla extract
1 g Salt
30 ml Unsweetened almond milk (optional)

Steps

1

Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until a sticky dough forms. If it seems too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of almond milk.

2

Form and Roll

Using your hands, roll the mixture into approximately 12-15 small balls. If desired, roll them in shredded coconut or extra cocoa powder for added flavor and texture.

3

Chill

Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Once chilled, they are ready to enjoy!

Extra Tips

If the mixture is too dry, add a little almond milk until it reaches a consistency that's easy to roll.

You can roll the bites in shredded coconut or extra cocoa powder for an even richer flavor.

Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week to keep them fresh.
