Ingredients
| 150g | gluten-free rolled oats |
| 2 tbsp | coconut oil |
| 2 tbsp | smooth peanut butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter |
| 60ml | pure maple syrup or other liquid sweetener |
| 1 tsp | pure vanilla extract |
| 60g | almond flour or almond meal |
| ¼ tsp | fine-grain sea salt |
| 2 tbsp | mini dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate |
Instructions
In a high-speed blender, blend the oats until a fine flour forms. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla and beat with a hand mixer until smooth. Add the almond flour, oat flour, and salt and beat again until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon of dough each). If chocolate chips fall to the bottom of the bowl, press them back into the dough when rolling. Place the finished bites on a plate lined with parchment paper.
Freeze the bites for 5 to 10 minutes, or until firm. Store the bites in the freezer in a freezer bag for quick and easy snacks.
Prep time: 15 minutes. Chill time: 10 minutes.
Tips:
For a nut-free version, simply swap sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter and more oat flour for the almond flour (add a splash of nondairy milk if the dough is a bit dry). Both versions work just fine.
