Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour (or finely ground rolled oats)
- Pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir together the oat flour, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until a dough forms. Make sure all ingredients are well combined and there are no dry spots.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough to evenly distribute them without breaking them up.
- Chill Dough (if needed): If the dough feels too soft or sticky, place it in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes to firm up, which will make rolling easier.
- Form Balls: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Try to keep the size consistent for even servings.
- Chill for Texture: Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined tray or plate, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let them set and develop the best texture.
- Store Properly: Keep the cookie balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to one week, making them a convenient grab-and-go snack.
Notes
- You can substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
- Add a scoop of protein powder to the mixture for a post-workout boost.
- Roll the finished balls in shredded coconut or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
