Servings 12 small balls

Ingredients

  • 60 g rolled oats
  • 25 g peanuts chopped into small pieces
  • 25 g dark chocolate chopped into small pieces
  • 15 g desiccated coconut
  • 15 g poppy seeds
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 50-60 g peanut butter coconut peanut butter if possible
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey

Instructions

  1. Take a large bowl and put in the oats, chopped peanuts and chocolate, coconut, poppy seeds, vanilla and salt.

    Add 50g of the peanut butter plus 1 tbsp of the maple syrup.

  2. Start mixing everything together with a rubber spoon or spatula then switch to using your hands.

    Take a handful of the mixture and try to squeeze it together: if it is very crumbly and won't come together, add a little more peanut butter and/or maple syrup.

  3. When the mix sticks together well, put in the fridge for 30 minutes.

  4. Take teaspoonfuls of the mixture and squeeze into balls about the size of a walnut. Note: if you try to roll into balls, you may find they fall apart, especially if the chocolate and nuts have not been chopped finely.

  5. Store the Oat Bites in the fridge in a covered container for up to one week or freeze and defrost as needed.
