Delicious Vegan Peanut Butter Truffles

These creamy truffles feature a smooth peanut butter center coated in rich dark chocolate. The recipe is straightforward and can be made in about 30 minutes, yielding around 12 to 15 truffles depending on the size.

Ingredients

• 1 cup natural peanut butter
• 1/2 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips or vegan chocolate
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional for melting chocolate)
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Gradually stir in the rolled oats until well combined.
2. Form the Truffles: Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Chill the Balls: Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
4. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely melted.
5. Dip the Truffles: Remove the chilled peanut butter balls from the fridge and dip each one into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly. Return to the baking sheet.
6. Set the Truffles: Allow the chocolate-coated truffles to set at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate hardens.
7. Serve: Enjoy these creamy vegan peanut butter truffles straight from the fridge for a cool, indulgent treat.
