Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups of oats
- ½ cup of dried cranberries or raisins
- 1 cup of peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup (agave works too)
- 1 tablespoon of ground flax seeds
- ½ cup of vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the oats, dried fruit, peanut butter, maple syrup, and ground flax seeds.
- Melt the vegan chocolate chips and mix half of it into the bowl.
- Roll the dough into little balls, and push into a lined or lightly-oiled mini-muffin tin. You can use a regular sized tin as well, they just will be bigger.
- Coat the top of the cups with the remaining melted vegan chocolate and refrigerate for about an hour. Serve cold.
Notes
Store these in an airtight container for up to a week in the refrigerator.
- To include a creamy peanut butter filling: Mold the filling to the muffin tin, so it’s a ‘bowl’ shape. Then add 1-2tsp peanut butter before pouring over the melted chocolate.
- If the chocolate starts to set: It may begin to harden before you’re done using it. Simply place it back in the microwave in 10-15 second spurts until it’s melted again.
- If the peanut butter is a little thick: Place it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until it’s runnier.
