Healthy Peanut Butter Patties

Make Healthy Vegan Peanut Butter Patties at home with just a handful of simple ingredients. These perfect shortbread cookies are layered with creamy peanut butter and dipped in homemade vegan chocolate.

Ingredients:

Cookies

1 cup of oat flour can be made by blending 1 cup of oats in a blender until flour consistency is reached

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1/4 teaspoon of baking soda

2 tablespoons almond milk or dairy free milk of choice slightly warm or room temperature

2 tablespoons maple syrup

2 tablespoons melted coconut oil

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Peanut Butter Filling

2-3 tablespoons of natural peanut butter

Chocolate Coating

3 tablespoons melted coconut oil hot and melted

2-3 tablespoons maple syrup room temperature or warm

1/4 cup of cocoa powder

Instructions:

For the Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a tray with parchment paper.

Combine the first 3 dry ingredients and whisk.

In a separate bowl combine the almond milk, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.

Add wet ingredients into the dry and stir until combined. Roll dough into balls and place on prepared tray (makes about 8). Flatten each cookie dough ball with a cup or flat surface.

Bake in preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

Spread desired amount peanut butter onto the top of each cookie (I like to use about 2 tablespoons in total). Place cookies in the freezer to set

.

For the Chocolate Coating

Make healthy chocolate coating: combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine. (Adding more coconut oil for a thinner coating and more maple syrup for a sweeter coating).

Remove cookies from freezer and dip into chocolate to fully coat. Place back into the freezer to allow the chocolate to cool and harden.

Enjoy!
