No-bake peanut butter oat bites with flax, chia and sugar-free chocolate chips, sweetened with monk fruit.
Ingredients
Dry
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 3 tablespoons powdered monk fruit sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Wet
- 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter (no sugar added)
- 2 tablespoons water or unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-in
- 1/4 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
Directions
- In a medium bowl, stir the oats, flaxseed, chia seeds, powdered monk fruit, cinnamon and salt.
- Add the peanut butter, water and vanilla. Stir until the mixture is evenly moistened and holds together when pressed. If it is dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Refrigerate 15 minutes so the mixture firms up and is easier to roll.
- Scoop level tablespoons and roll into 18 balls, about 1 inch each. Set on a parchment lined plate.
- Chill at least 15 minutes more before eating. Store covered in the fridge up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.
