Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
Add rolled oats, cocoa powder (if using), and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Mix everything together using a spatula or your hands. The mixture should be thick but slightly sticky. If it’s too dry, add a little more nut butter or a teaspoon of water.
Step 4: Form the Treats
Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, or press the mixture into a tray for a bar-shaped treat. Make sure they’re compact so they hold together.
Step 5: Chill to Set
Place your tray or plate in the fridge for at least 20–30 minutes. Chilling helps the treats firm up, giving them that “melts in the mouth” texture.
Step 6: Enjoy!
Once set, your treats are ready to enjoy. Keep them stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Tips for Perfection
- Customize sweetness: Adjust honey or maple syrup according to your taste.
- Texture variation: Add chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra crunch.
- Chocolate lovers: Sprinkle cocoa nibs on top before chilling.
- Nut-free option: Use sunflower seed butter instead of nut butter.
This recipe is ideal for anyone who wants a fast, healthy, and mouth-melting treat without the fuss of baking or refined sugar. In less than an hour, you can have a batch ready to snack on anytime.
