No Bake Low FODMAP Peanut Butter Brownie Bites

Ingredients

• Rolled oats

  Plain, dry oatmeal

  1 cup or 80g

• Peanut butter

  Chunk style, with salt

  ½ cup or 129g

• Chocolate

  Formulated bar, power bar

  25g

• Sesame butter

  Seeds, tahini, from raw and stone ground kernels

  ¼ cup or 60g

• Cocoa

  Dry powder, unsweetened

  2 tbsp or 11g

• Chia seeds

  Seeds, dried

  2 tbsp or 24g

• Salt

  Table

  ¼ tsp or 2g

Directions

1. Place oats and peanut butter in a food processor. Pulse until the oats are coarsely ground and just mixed with the peanut butter. A handful of times should do the trick.
2. Add chocolate chips, 1/4 cup maple syrup, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and (optional) salt. Pulse until well mixed. If the mixture seems too dry the consistency will vary depending on the peanut butter used pulse in more maple syrup a tablespoon at a time until the desired, slightly sticky, easy to roll, consistency is achieved.
3. Using clean hands, grab a small amount of the mixture, press it together between your hands, and roll into a roughly 1-inch sized ball. Place the ball on a parchment-lined pan and repeat with the remaining mixture.
4. Once finished, place in the freezer until no longer sticky. Transfer to a freezer-safe container for storage. You can store them in the fridge, but I like to store them in the freezer until I'm ready to enjoy a bite or two. When ready to eat, let thaw (if frozen) for a minute or two before enjoying.
