a delicious and healthy treat that is super easy to make with only 4 ingredients.
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup rolled oats (certified gluten free if needed)
  • ½ cup natural smooth peanut butter
  • 1 Tablespoon honey (sub agave for vegan option)
  • ¾ cup bittersweet chocolate chips (use vegan chocolate chips for vegan option)
Instructions
  1. In a bowl combine oats, peanut butter and honey. Stir well until combined. Score the mixture into quarters and form two balls out of each quarter (8 balls in total). Set balls on a cookie sheet lined with wax or parchment paper until chocolate is ready.
  2. In a small saucepan on low heat, melt chocolate chips stirring until smooth and completely melted. Using a spoon, gently roll ball around in the chocolate until well covered, using a fork gently allow excess chocolate to drip off and place ball back on the cookie sheet. Continue with remaining balls. Place cookie sheet in the refrigerator until chocolate has hardened, about 15 minutes.
Notes
Once the chocolate has hardened I transfer the balls to a tupperware container and store them in the refrigerator. They won't last long. To make vegan, simply sub agave syrup or omit altogether for a slightly less sweet filling.
