Vegan Peanut Butter Balls Recipe

1. Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
Add the oat flour and mix until a thick dough forms. If the mixture is too sticky, add a bit more oat flour, one tablespoon at a time.
2. Shape the Balls
Scoop out 1–2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands.
Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
3. Optional: Add Chocolate Coating
Melt the dairy-free chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave or over a double boiler.
Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Use a fork to lift the ball and let the excess chocolate drip off.
Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined sheet.
4. Chill
Refrigerate the peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
5. Serve
Enjoy straight from the fridge or at room temperature!
Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.
