Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup No-added-sugar peanut butter
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup Sugar-free maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Stevia or other granulated sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed (optional for added nutrition)
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate chips (sugar-free, optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar-free maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully blended and smooth.
Add the old-fashioned rolled oats, unsweetened shredded coconut, and stevia. If desired, stir in the ground flaxseed for added nutrition.
Mix thoroughly until the mixture begins to hold together. If the mixture is too crumbly, add a teaspoon of water or sugar-free maple syrup at a time until it comes together.
Fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips if using.
Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into balls approximately 1 inch in size.
Place the peanut butter balls onto a parchment paper-lined baking tray or plate.
Refrigerate the peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
