Ingredients

• 1 cup No-added-sugar peanut butter
• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.25 cup Sugar-free maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Stevia or other granulated sugar substitute
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed (optional for added nutrition)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar-free maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully blended and smooth.

Step 2

Add the old-fashioned rolled oats, unsweetened shredded coconut, and stevia. If desired, stir in the ground flaxseed for added nutrition.

Step 3

Mix thoroughly until the mixture begins to hold together. If the mixture is too crumbly, add a teaspoon of water or sugar-free maple syrup at a time until it comes together.

Step 4

Fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips if using.

Step 5

Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into balls approximately 1 inch in size.

Step 6

Place the peanut butter balls onto a parchment paper-lined baking tray or plate.

Step 7

Refrigerate the peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Step 8

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
