INGREDIENTS: 

• 1 Cup Oat Flour
• 1 Cup Swerve granulated sugar
• 3/4 Cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 Tsp. salt
• 1 1/2 Tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 Cup avocado oil
• 1 Cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2 Tsp. Stevia Vanilla Crème drops
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/3 Cup OffBeat Buckeye Brownie Peanut Butter
• 1/2 Cup hot water 

Chocolate Coating:

• 1 1/2 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted
• 1 Cup dark chocolate chips, melted
• 1/4 Cup white chocolate, melted 

DIRECTIONS: 

1. Preheat oven to 350*. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, draping an inch over. Have parchment paper available for the chocolate coating process.
2. Combine all the dry ingredients and mix well. In a separate bowl, beat together the wet ingredients until thoroughly combined, adding the hot water LAST.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mix until well combined. Pour the entire mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading evenly.
4. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Remove from oven, then lift from baking sheet using the parchment paper. Allow to cool on counter until easy to handle.
5. Line the baking sheet with a new sheet of parchment paper.
6. Using your hands, remove enough of the baked mixture to make a firm 1 inch ball, and place on the baking sheet. (Should feel a little doughy.)
7. Place a toothpick through the center of each ball, then freeze for 30 minutes to one hour.
8. Melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil, microwaving in 30 second intervals, until smooth.
9. Remove bites from freezer, individually submerging into the melted dark chocolate to fully coat. Use a spoon to assist. Place back onto the parchment paper, allowing the chocolate to harden.
10. In a separate bowl, microwave the white chocolate and stir until smooth.
11. Once the dark chocolate has hardened, remove the tooth picks and drizzle the melted white chocolate over the tops. Store in the fridge or freezer. Enjoy!
