Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 ⅔ Cups Rolled Oats
- ½ Cup Peanut Butter
- ⅓ Cup Applesauce
- 3 Tablespoons Agave
- ½ Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Pinch Salt
Add-ins
- ¼ Cup Mini Chocolate Chips or finely chopped chocolate
Instructions
- Process Oats: Place the rolled oats into the bowl of a food processor and process until they have the texture of a coarse meal.
- Make Dough: Add the peanut butter, applesauce, agave, vanilla extract, and salt into the food processor. Pulse until a dough forms and ingredients are well combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Add the mini chocolate chips and pulse a few times to evenly distribute them into the dough without over-processing.
- Form Balls: Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the mixture onto a parchment-lined plate. Roll each portion between the palms of your hands to form bite-sized dough balls. You should get about 15-17 pieces.
- Chill and Store: Place the dough bites in the refrigerator to chill. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Peanut butter can be substituted with any nut or seed butter of your choice for variation or allergies.
- For a vegan option, ensure the peanut butter and chocolate chips are vegan-friendly.
- If you prefer a sweeter bite, you can add a little more agave or honey.
- These dough bites are best stored refrigerated but can be frozen for longer storage.
- Feel free to swap mini chocolate chips with chopped nuts, dried fruits, or seeds for different flavors and textures.
