Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) creamy peanut butter
- ¾ cup (90 grams) oat flour (or finely ground oats)
- ½ cup (85 grams) mini chocolate chips
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 pinch salt
- Optional: melted chocolate for drizzling or dipping
Instructions
- Combine peanut butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl, whisking until the mixture becomes silky and homogeneous.
- Gradually incorporate oat flour and a delicate sprinkle of salt, stirring until the ingredients transform into a cohesive, malleable dough.
- Gently fold miniature chocolate chips throughout the dough, ensuring even distribution for consistent flavor in each bite.
- Using a small scoop or spoon, carefully shape the dough into compact, uniform spheres approximately the size of a tablespoon.
- Arrange the formed dough balls onto a parchment-lined tray, creating a neat arrangement for efficient chilling.
- Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and allow the cookie dough bites to set and firm up for a minimum of 20 minutes.
- For an indulgent twist, consider drizzling or coating the chilled bites with melted chocolate, enhancing their decadence.
- Once prepared, store the cookie dough bites in an airtight container within the refrigerator for up to one week, or preserve them in the freezer for extended enjoyment.
Notes
- Swap honey with agave nectar or date syrup for a vegan-friendly version that maintains the same sweet, sticky consistency.
- Use gluten-free oat flour to make these bites completely gluten-free, perfect for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Experiment with different nut butters like almond or cashew for unique flavor variations that add depth to the classic recipe.
- Prevent the dough from becoming too dry by adding a small splash of non-dairy milk if the mixture feels crumbly during mixing.
