Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.33 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Old-fashioned oats
- 0.5 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds (optional)
- 0.33 cup Dark chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Add the old-fashioned oats, shredded coconut, and chia seeds (if using). Mix thoroughly until the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips using a spatula or spoon until evenly distributed.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls with your hands. If the mixture is too sticky, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes before rolling.
Place the formed peanut butter balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Store the peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Enjoy as a quick snack or a nutritious treat!
