Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and honey.
Microwave the mixture in 20-second increments, stirring well after each interval, until the peanut butter and honey are smoothly combined and slightly warm (this helps with mixing). Do not overheat.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
Add the old-fashioned oats to the peanut butter mixture and stir until the oats are evenly coated.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, making sure the mixture has cooled slightly so the chocolate chips do not melt.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls using your hands.
Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Once all of the mixture has been shaped into chews, refrigerate the tray for at least 1 hour to allow the chews to firm up.
Store the Gooey Peanut Butter Chews in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
