Ingredients

US Customary – Metric

▢ ½ cup Peanut Butter (Unsalted) - (note 1)
▢ ¼ cup Maple Syrup - (note 2)
▢ 1 cup Almond Flour - (note 3)
▢ ⅓ cup Mini Chocolate Chips - (note 4)

Instructions

In a small mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, maple syrup, almond flour, and mini chocolate chips until it forms a smooth cookie dough.
If you like, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and pinch of salt, stir to evenly incorporate.
Refrigerate the dough for 10 minutes, then roll it into 10 balls of the same size – it's about 1 1/2 tablespoons per bite.

Notes

Note 1: Use fresh, no added sugar, no added oil peanut butter. Alternatively, you can use almond butter or sunflower seed butter.

Note 2: You can also use agave syrup, coconut nectar, or brown rice syrup.

Note 3: You can alternatively use sunflower seed flour or oat flour. Do not use wholewheat flour as it’s not considered safe to eat raw.

Note 4: You can use up to 1/2 cup if you like the cookie dough bites sweeter. Use sugar-free chocolate chips to cut down sugar or chopped nuts instead.

Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container. Or, freeze in zip bags for up to 1 month, thaw in the fridge the day before.

Peanut Butter – This brings the primary flavor and creaminess to the bites. You can also use almond butter or sunflower seed butter. Ensure it’s fresh and natural (so with no added sugar or oil).
Maple Syrup – It sweetens the cookie dough. Agave syrup, coconut nectar, or brown rice syrup also work well.
Almond Flour – This gluten-free flour gives the bites their structure. Sunflower seed flour or oat flour are also fine. Avoid using wholewheat flour as it’s not suitable for eating raw.
Mini Chocolate Chips – They add a classic chocolate taste. If you prefer a sweeter bite, you can use up to 1/2 cup. Sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts are also good options.

Carine’s Tips

Let me share a few more tips for perfect bites!

Nut-Free Option – If you have nut allergies, substitute sunflower seed butter for peanut butter and sesame flour for almond flour.
Other Nut Butters – Feel free to experiment with different nut butters like cashew butter or macadamia butter for a unique flavor.
Natural Peanut Butter Essential – Always use natural peanut butter, which means it doesn’t contain added oil or sugar, for the best results.
Enhance Flavor – Adding a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract can boost the overall flavor of the bites.
