Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats Make sure they're certified gluten-free if needed.
- 1/2 cup Nut butter (peanut, almond or cashew) Helps to bind the mixture.
- 1/3 cup Cocoa powder Use a cocoa powder that you enjoy.
- 1/4 cup Honey or maple syrup Sweetener choices.
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Adds extra flavor.
- 1 pinch Salt Enhances the chocolate flavor.
Optional Add-ins
- 1/2 cup Mini chocolate chips Add for more chocolatey goodness.
- 1/4 cup Rainbow candy sprinkles For decoration and fun.
Instructions
Preparation
- Add rolled oats and cocoa powder to a bowl and stir them together to avoid cocoa clumps.
- Add nut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Stir until the mixture resembles thick brownie dough.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips if using. Let the dough sit for 5 minutes if it feels too warm.
- Scoop and roll into balls approximately 1 to 1.5 inches wide.
- Roll each ball in sprinkles or press them onto each ball. If sprinkles aren’t sticking, wet your fingertips slightly and press again.
- Chill the bites in the refrigerator for at least 20 to 30 minutes for firmness and enhanced flavor.
Notes
If the mixture is too dry, add 1 teaspoon more honey or nut butter; if too sticky, add a spoonful of oats. For variations, use sunflower seed butter to make them nut-free, or mix in protein powder for added nutrition.
