Ingredients

  • ½ cup peanut butter (all-natural, no added sugar or oil)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • ¾ cups + 2-3 tablespoons oat flour (see note below, ensure gf if necessary)

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix together the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  • Mix in the cocoa powder until is is fully and evenly incorporated.
  • Add the oat flour and mix. You can use a spoon to start, but it will be easier to use your hands to get the dough fully mixed.
  • Scoop out about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball between your palms. Continue until you have used all the dough.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

Make sure you use all-natural peanut butter because it has a different texture than peanut butter with additives such as sugar and oil.
For the oat flour, ¾ cups + 2 tablespoons has worked well for me every time I’ve tested this recipe, however if you want them to be a bit more firm, add another tablespoon. Keep in mind that even if these cookie dough balls seem soft, they will firm up after a day.
You can store these cookie dough balls in an airtight container at room temperature, but if you live in a humid climate, you may want to keep them in the fridge.
