  • 1 1/2 cups old-fasioned oats, gluten-free
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (natural extra-crunchy) peanut butter
  • 1 1/4 cup finely grated coconut, (plus more for rolling, about 1/4 cup)

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

On a parchment lined baking sheet, add oats and toast for 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Use your hands and mix all ingredients together.

Shape dough into 20 1-inch balls.

If needed, add a few drops of water until crunchies hold together when made into balls.

Spread additional coconut on a plate or parchment pepper.

Roll dough into 20 balls then roll each ball in the coconut.

Place covered balls in the fridge until set, approximately 1 hour.

Enjoy!
