How to Make It
Alright, let’s plunge into making these irresistible Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Balls! Start by grabbing your trusty mixing bowl and dolloping in ¾ cup of organic peanut butter.
Now, add 3 tablespoons of agave syrup (or maple syrup if you’re feeling fancy). Stir the heck out of this combo for about a minute—think of it as your daily arm workout. You want this mix to go from runny to thick and luscious, like peanut butter frosting dreams.
Keep going until it’s got that perfect dough vibe. Once your arm’s threatening to give up on you, gently fold in 2 tablespoons of coconut flour, a little bit at a time, because nobody wants a lumpy mess.
Keep stirring vigorously, channeling your inner smoothie-maker, until the batter thickens up nicely. Add a pinch (or ¼ teaspoon) of finely ground sea salt to wake up those flavors and toss in 5 tablespoons of cacao nibs for that satisfying crunch.
These nibs are like tiny bursts of chocolatey goodness and totally worth the chew. Mix everything until it looks like a cohesive, slightly chunky peanut butter dream. Plus, these Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Balls are a great alternative to Crispy Chickpea Snack Mix for a quick, no-bake treat.
