Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup peanut butter: Choose creamy or crunchy, depending on your texture preference.
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup: Both options provide natural sweetness and help bind the ingredients together.
- 2 cups rolled oats: Acts as the base and adds a hearty texture.
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or carob chips: Adds a touch of sweetness and a delightful contrast to the nuttiness.
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract: Enhances the flavor profile with a subtle hint of vanilla.
- A pinch of salt: Balances the sweetness and elevates the overall taste.
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey/maple syrup. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually incorporate the rolled oats, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and salt into the peanut butter mixture. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Form Balls: Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in size.
- Prepare for Chilling: Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are spaced apart to prevent sticking.
- Refrigerate: Allow the peanut butter balls to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up and hold their shape.
