Healthy Peanut Butter Patties
Ingredients
Cookies
- 1 cup of oat flour can be made by blending 1 cup of oats in a blender until flour consistency is reached
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
- 2 tablespoons almond milk or dairy free milk of choice slightly warm or room temperature
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Peanut Butter Filling
- 2-3 tablespoons of natural peanut butter
Chocolate Coating
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil hot and melted
- 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup room temperature or warm
- 1/4 cup of cocoa powder
Instructions
For the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a tray with parchment paper.
- Combine the first 3 dry ingredients and whisk.
- In a separate bowl combine the almond milk, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
- Add wet ingredients into the dry and stir until combined. Roll dough into balls and place on prepared tray (makes about 8). Flatten each cookie dough ball with a cup or flat surface.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- Spread desired amount peanut butter onto the top of each cookie (I like to use about 2 tablespoons in total). Place cookies in the freezer to set.
For the Chocolate Coating
- Make healthy chocolate coating: combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine. (Adding more coconut oil for a thinner coating and more maple syrup for a sweeter coating).
- Remove cookies from freezer and dip into chocolate to fully coat. Place back into the freezer to allow the chocolate to cool and harden.
- Enjoy!
