What’s a gal to do when she’s looking for the perfect 3 ingredient peanut butter balls snack? I say, look no further than today’s delicious and easy-to-make peanut butter bites!

Folks, this 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Bites Recipe could not be easier. It’s just 3 simple ingredients—made delightfully with the ever-popular coconut flour.

It’s as easy as throwing those 3 ingredients in: peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut flour. Stirring until thickened (so that the delicious coconut flour has time to absorb and become one with the PB and maple syrup). Chill until firm. Then, scoop into balls and enjoy!

That’s seriously it. Could it BE any easier? Thank you, Chandler, for the exaggerated “BE.”  Now… shall we BEgin this or what? 😉 Let’s no bake this!

How to Make No Bake Peanut Butter Bites

You’ll be amazed at how easy it truly is to make these peanut butter bites. Check out the simple steps below:

Line

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (you can even use a plate).

Stir & Fold

Add all peanut butter bites ingredients to a mixing bowl: peanut butter, maple syrup and coconut flour. Use a rubber spatula to stir and fold everything together until the peanut butter mixture thickens.

Freeze

Cover the bowl and freeze for 30 minutes. This time will allow the coconut flour to absorb some of the oil and maple syrup and cause the peanut butter bites to firm up. Some readers skip this step altogether because they don’t mind softer bites. You do you! 😉

Scoop

Using a small or medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop peanut butter balls onto the sheet you prepared earlier. If you’d like, roll the scoops into smooth, round spheres.

Enjoy

Enjoy the easiest peanut butter bites! Wasn’t that easy?

Tips for the Best 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Balls

• Use your favorite peanut butter. This peanut butter balls recipe is all for you. If you don’t like the peanut butter I’m suggesting, use your own! (We all have a favorite.)
• … or even your favorite other nut butter
• Try a cookie scoop. This will make making your 3 ingredient peanut butter balls so much faster and more uniform. I, myself, don’t love to obsess about perfection, but use the cookie scoop to make things simpler and easier. Try it for yourself and see how you like it.
• Enjoy the day after… if you’re looking for firmer peanut butter bites. The first day that you make this peanut butter snack, it’ll be soft and delicious. However, you might like your peanut butter balls on the denser side. Go ahead and eat them the next day–they’ll be way less soft and much easier to carry to work, the gym and what not (without getting smooshed) due to their firmness.

Here’s to a new year, full of resolutions we’re gonna accomplish like WOAH, and just the healthy snack recipes we need to fuel our way through it.  I’m super excited to share more healthy protein-packed snacks with you!

Sending you all my love and maybe even a dove, xo Demeter ❤️
