Ingredients

  • For the base:
    • 1/2 cup oat flour
    • 1/8 cup runny peanut butter
    • 1/8 cup maple syrup
    • 1 tbsp almond milk
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the filling:
    • 1/2 cup runny peanut butter
    • 1 tbsp coconut oil
    • 1 tbsp maple syrup
    • 1/2 cup peanuts
  • For the chocolate coating:
    • 3/4 cup chocolate chips
    • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, runny peanut butter, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until it forms a dough-like consistency.
  2. Step 2: Press the base mixture into silicone ice cube molds, spreading it evenly and compacting it well. Place the molds in the freezer while preparing the filling.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, mix the runny peanut butter, coconut oil, and maple syrup together until smooth and well combined.
  4. Step 4: Add the peanuts to the peanut butter mixture, stirring to coat them completely. Pour this filling into the molds over the base layer. Return the molds to the freezer and let set for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil until smooth. Pour or spoon the melted chocolate over the filling layer in the molds. Place the molds back in the freezer for a few hours to fully set.
  6. Step 6: Once set, carefully pop the Snickers bites out of the silicone molds. You should have about 9 bites ready to enjoy.

Tips & Variations

  • Use almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate before setting to balance sweetness.
  • Substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup if preferred.
  • Chop the peanuts roughly for added texture and crunch.

Storage

Store the Snickers bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Thaw for a few minutes at room temperature before eating for the best texture and flavor.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of flour for the base?

Yes, you can substitute oat flour with almond flour or whole wheat flour, but the texture may vary slightly.
