Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 12 bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup, 1/4 cup of shredded coconut, and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and shredded coconut. Stir them together until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth and well combined. If the peanut butter is too thick, you can microwave it for about 10-15 seconds to make it easier to mix.
- Pour the peanut butter mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Use a spatula or your hands to combine everything thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
- Once the mixture is well combined, use your hands to form small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should be able to make approximately 12 bites.
- Place the formed bites onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Make sure they are spaced apart to prevent sticking.
- If desired, you can roll the bites in extra shredded coconut or cocoa powder for added flavor and texture.
- Refrigerate the bites for about 30 minutes to firm them up. This step is optional but helps them hold their shape better.
- Once chilled, your No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Coconut Bites are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your peanut butter is at room temperature or slightly warmed for easier mixing.
- Binding Consistency: If your mixture seems too dry, add a little more honey or peanut butter to help the bites hold together.
- Customization Options: Feel free to add chia seeds, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts for extra texture and nutrition.
- Rolling Technique: Use slightly damp hands when forming balls to prevent sticking and create smoother bites.
- Chilling is Key: Refrigerating helps these bites firm up and enhances their flavor and texture.
- Storage Tip: These bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, making them perfect for meal prep.
- Vegan Variation: Use maple syrup instead of honey to keep the recipe completely vegan-friendly.
