Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.333 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips
- 1 pinch Coarse sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Add the shredded unsweetened coconut and rolled oats to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated in the peanut butter mixture.
Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place each ball on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Optionally, sprinkle a tiny pinch of coarse sea salt on top of each ball to enhance the flavor.
Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Once chilled, the Peanut Butter Coconuts are ready to serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to one month.
