Ingredients

  • ¾ cup natural peanut butter
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats "large flake oats"
  • ¾ cup unsweetened, shredded coconut

Instructions

  • Add peanut butter and pure maple syrup to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Whisk together until well mixed.
  • Heat this mixture for 20 seconds at a time in the microwave, about 3 times. Whisk between each heating. The peanut butter and maple syrup will start to smell amazing. It will also dry out a bit and become fluffier.
  • Next, add the gluten-free rolled oats and shredded coconut to the peanut butter mixture. Stir well until completely combined.
  • This mixture should be very easy to pick up. You can use your hands or a melon baller to shape into balls. (I usually start with the melon baller but then just end up using my hands because it's faster.)
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

Be sure when you're heating the mixture not to cook it completely. The heating just helps to dry the peanut butter and maple syrup so the balls form together more easily.
This recipe makes about 20 balls (see photo). Each is about 1 tablespoon of oat peanut butter mixture.
