Steps

Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, rolled oats, honey (or maple syrup), cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and form a uniform mixture.

Add Chocolate Chips

Fold in the mini dark chocolate chips into the mixture. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Roll and Chill

Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into small balls (about 3-4 cm in diameter). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.

Extra Tips

► If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more oats; if too dry, add a bit more peanut butter or syrup.

► Experiment with other add-ins like chia seeds or flax seeds for extra nutrients.

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