The king of chocolate peanut butter treats! Now vegan.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup + 1 tsp. creamy natural peanut butter, divided
  • 2 and 1/2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup, divided
  • 1+ Tbsp. oat flour*
  • pinch salt (optional)
  • 1 Tbsp. coconut oil
  • 1 Tbsp. cocoa powder
  • splash pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the peanut butter balls: Melt 1/4 cup peanut butter in the microwave, about 30 seconds. Allow peanut butter to slightly cool, then add 2 Tbsp. maple syrup and mix until combined.
  2. Add oat flour and mix until combined. Add more if needed. The mixture should *just* come together and should be able to be formed into a ball.
  3. Roll into four-five balls, then stick a toothpick into the tops and freeze until set.
  4. Make the chocolate dip. Melt coconut oil and 1 tsp. peanut butter in the microwave, about 30 seconds. Add cocoa and vanilla and mix until smooth.
  5. Assemble the Healthy Buckeyes: Remove peanut butter balls from the freezer. Reshape into circles if necessary.
  6. Holding by the toothpick, dip balls into chocolate and turn to cover. For authentic buckeyes, do not cover the entire peanut butter ball with chocolate (see photos). Place on a parchment paper-lined plate, then return to the freezer to set. Store in the freezer.**

Notes

*No oat flour? Make it yourself! Throw some rolled oats into your blender and blend until a fine flour forms! It’s a simple as that!
