Ingredients

  • 3 1/3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats~ certified gluten-free if needed
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups peanut butter ~ I used a natural brand
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil ~ room temperature or slightly melted
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips ~ for optional for drizzle
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract ~ for optional for drizzle
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil ~ for optional drizzle

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl add peanut butter, coconut oil, pure maple syrup, and salt. Stir to mix well.
  • Add the oats and mix well, use your hands if needed.
  • Add the chocolate chips if you are using them as an add-in instead of drizzle.
  • Form dough into small round cookies. Place on a large cookie sheet lined with plastic food wrap or wax paper. They stick a bit on parchment paper.
  • Place in the freezer while you make the drizzle.
  • Drizzle:
    Melt chocolate chips, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil on low temp until melted. Stir well. I use the microwave and stir the mixture about 3 times while melting.
    Then using the end of a butter knife or fork dip into the melted chocolate and drizzle the chilled energy bites.
    Return to the freezer to firm up the chocolate. Store in the freezer in a freezer-safe container for the longest storage or in the refrigerator. We like to eat them frozen!!
    Leftover drizzle can be warmed up and reused. Try some over ice cream (or non-dairy) it is just like the store-bought magic shell.
