Ingredients

1/2 cup Peanut Butter creamy
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 tablespoon cacao powder
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 cup vegan mini chocolate chips or regular if vegan isn't necessary

Instructions

In a medium bowl mix together peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, cocoa, and cacao powder.
Add oats, coconut, and chia seeds to the mixture and mix well until it is well combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Roll mixture into 1 - 1 1/2 inch balls, approximately 16. If the mixture is very very sticky, pop it in the freezer for 10 minutes first.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 weeks or up to 6 months in freezer.

Notes

The nutritional value is approximately per ball.

Gluten-Free

Be sure you use oats that are labeled gluten-free as not all are.

Substitutions

Maple Syrup: Use honey (if they don't need to be vegan) or agave.

Cocoa and Cacao: You can use all of one or the other or switch up the the amounts. Cacao has a richer a little more bitter flavor.
