4 Ingredient Energy Oatmeal Ball with Peanut Butter: No-Bake Snack

Instructions:

1. In a large glass mixing bowl, combine the creamy natural peanut butter and pure maple syrup. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture forms a smooth, glossy, and homogeneous mahogany-colored paste.
2. Add the old-fashioned rolled oats and mini dark chocolate chips to the bowl. Use a firm silicone spatula to fold the ingredients together, pressing the oats into the paste until no dry pockets remain.
3. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes until the mixture feels firm and less tacky to the touch. This is the 30 minute cook time that makes or breaks the texture.
4. Using a small cookie scoop (approximately 1-tablespoon capacity), portion the dough and roll between your palms to form uniform spheres.
5. Place on parchment and let them sit for another 10 minutes at room temperature to stabilize until they hold their shape when lifted.
