  • 1 cup unsalted peanut butter
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup chia seeds or ground flaxseed
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate, you can use chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Directions:

1

In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter and maple syrup until combined.

step two for peanut butter recipe Yuka

2

Add the rolled oats, chia seeds or ground flaxseed, chocolate and salt then mix until everything is evenly incorporated. (see notes)

step three for peanut butter recipe Yuka

3

Using clean hands, roll the mixture into small 1 inch balls. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes:

  • If the mixture feels too sticky, then you can add a bit more oats, chia seeds or flaxseed until you get the consistency you like.
  • Feel free to omit the maple syrup to reduce sugar content.
  • Store any extra bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Bon appétit and enjoy! 🥰☀️

    I make these all the time and they are delicious. Sometimes I substitute honey for maple syrup. I hope that does not change the nutritional value. They are delicious both ways.

    My granddaughters swim/dive team loves these. They request them all the time. I use raw honey instead of syrup. Chill 15 minutes before rolling, they come out better.

    I used MINI semi sweet chips to avoid chopping and 1t of monkfruit instead of maple syrup to make them lower sugar and rolled them in hemp hearts for less sticky.

    Excellent protein bites
    I use carrots, chia seeds, almonds, walnuts and pecans. A spoon of almond butter,and little honey. I put everything in a food processor, roll the balls, and freeze the balls.

      I make these but I add a scoop of protein powder and they are delicious! If it’s a little too thick with the protein powder added, I just put in a few drops of water until they are the right consistency.

    I replaced peanut butter (Since peanuts re usually moldy) with almond butter and cashew butter mix , and the sweetnes from the cashew butter replaced the maple syrup (I had to add 1 tbsp only to give it some more moist) they came out super delicious . Thank you !!!

    Apparently you are unaware that recent research has shown that peanuts are detrimental to the digestive system. Substitute a treeead nut instead, such as pistachios or walnuts.instead.

      I’m not a believer. My father in law lived with us for the last 5 years of his life. He was 86 when he died and he ate only peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch and dinner since he was in the Army in WWIi.,till he died. Rarely ate anything else. No medications and no digestive issues ever recorded.

      If you pay attention to everything out there regarding food, unfortunately you’ll be living on water. Just stick to the YUKA app to find healthier alternatives then you bought in the past and pray a lot. That’s my advice because over the years so many foods have been taunted as BAD and then amazingly they’re GOOD for you 🤪

    This is a great recipe.
    On a whim I bought Kodiak protein ball mix. Scanned 51, no risky additives. Very similar except it takes 1/4 cup honey if made following the instructions.
    This I’m sure is cheaper and healthier because you can make it however you want really.
