Ingredients:
- Half a cup of natural creamy peanut butter
- One teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Two-thirds of a cup of rolled oats
- 1/4 cup of peanut butter powder (PB2)
- One tablespoon of optional tiny chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup maple syrup/honey
- A pinch of salt
INGREDIENT NOTES
Peanut Butter:
- The most nutritious and textural type of peanut butter you can use is the one that does not contain any additional sugar/oil.
Maple Syrup/Honey:
- A bit of caramel is added by the use of honey. It is done in a vegan-like fashion with maple syrup. Syrup has fewer points. Use sugar-free syrup.
Vanilla Extract:
- It makes it taste better & offsets the richness of the peanut butter.
Rolled Oats:
- Old-fashioned oats provide a body & a bite. Do not use instant oatmeal.
Powdered Peanut Butter
- It is more fattening with a peanut flavor. Significantly assists in tightening the dough, reducing the amount of fat.
Mini Chocolate Chips.
- And optionally, a little bit provides a texture & sweetness. They can be skipped to get fewer points.
Salt:
- A pinch of salt balances the sweetness that intensifies the taste of peanuts.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Combine peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), & the essence of vanilla in a mixing dish and whisk until smooth.
- Blend in oats, peanut butter powder, & a dash of salt.
- Mix till a dough forms and everything is properly incorporated.
- Fold in micro chocolate chips now if using.
- Using your hands or a little cookie scoop, Roll the ball of dough into 12 equal balls using a scoop to do it.
- Now place a foil sheet in a tray and arrange the balls in it.
- To firm up, refrigerate for the minimum 1/2 an hour.
- Enjoy leftovers cold as well as at room temperature after storing them in the refrigerator.
