Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, honey, gluten-free rolled oats, ground flaxseed, mini chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
-
Using a cookie scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in size. If the mixture is too sticky, you can place it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up slightly.
-
In a separate shallow bowl, mix the unsweetened cocoa powder with 2-3 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup to create a smooth coating mixture.
-
Dip each peanut butter ball into the cocoa coating mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. You can use a fork to help with this process and tap off any excess coating.
-
Place the coated balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, sprinkle the balls with chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a dusting of cocoa powder for extra flavor and decoration.
-
Once all the balls are coated and decorated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set.
-
Serve and enjoy these delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls as a tasty snack or a delightful dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
