Before we jump into the recipe, let's talk about how you can customize it and learn some tips.

How to make vegan peanut butter balls

Ingredients

Almond Flour

Almond flour gives an amazing texture and also keeps it gluten free. I don't recommend using almond meal because it's very different than almond flour.

Peanut Butter

It is one of the main ingredients for this recipe because it gives the flavor and texture. Make sure to use a natural, smooth and creamy peanut butter that is not dried up because it will change the texture.

Chocolate chips

There are so many great brands for dairy free chocolate chips so use your favorite. I usually use the mini chocolate chips but you can use the large ones.

Maple Syrup & Vanilla extract

Maple syrup gives that sweet taste but it's not overly sweet. Adding a little bit of vanilla extract provides extra flavor as well.

Salt & coconut oil

I like putting a little bit of salt since it brings the sweetness out. We will also add coconut oil to melt the chocolate chips in the mix for easier rolling.

How to make it

• First, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. And then add all the vegan peanut butter balls ingredients into a medium bowl and then mix well.

• 

• 

• Next, you can use a cookie scoop or your hands and then scoop out 1 tablespoon amounts of the mixture to roll into balls between the palms of your hands and place them on the baking sheet. 

• 

• 

• Now, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl and then microwave in 15 seconds increments until it's melted.

• 

• 

• Dip each ball into the melted chocolate and let the excess chocolate drip off and place it on the parchment paper lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes or fridge for 30 minutes until it sets.

Tips & Variations

• Make sure to use creamy and runny peanut butter for this recipe.
• If you end up with extra chocolate, you can drizzle it on top after it sets.
• Work quickly when dipping the balls into the chocolate and make sure to remove the excess chocolate before placing on the baking sheet.

How to store vegan peanut butter balls

These vegan peanut butter balls will keep in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days and in the freezer for up to 1 month. If they are left at room temperature too long, they will melt so keep that in mind.

It takes no time to make these no bake sweet treats. These peanut butter and chocolate balls are also:

• Gluten free and dairy free
