Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter (or your favorite nut butter)
- 1/4 cup Pure Maple Syrup or Honey
- 1 cup Oat Flour (finely ground rolled oats)
- Optional: 1/4 cup Chocolate Chips (if you want that classic look!)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preparation: Start by gathering your three main ingredients. If you do not have oat flour on hand, simply place some rolled oats into a high-speed blender or food processor and pulse until they turn into a fine, powdery flour. Ensure your peanut butter is at room temperature so it is easy to stir. If your peanut butter is sitting at the bottom of a jar and feels a bit stiff, give it a good stir before measuring to ensure the oils are well-incorporated.
- Step 2: Mixing: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and the maple syrup. Use a sturdy spatula to stir them together until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Gradually add the oat flour into the wet mixture, stirring constantly. The dough will start to thicken significantly. Continue mixing until a cohesive, dough-like consistency forms. If you are adding chocolate chips, fold them in now so they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Step 3: Plating: Once your dough is ready, you can serve it immediately. For a classic dessert experience, scoop the dough into small glass bowls and garnish with a few extra chocolate chips on top. Alternatively, you can use a small cookie scoop to form the dough into uniform balls and place them on a parchment-lined plate. For the best texture, let the dough sit in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before serving to help it firm up slightly, though it is delicious right out of the bowl.
