Peanut Butter Bliss Balls

Peanut butter bliss balls…

I had originally planned to post a different recipe today.

But then I tried one of these addictive little balls of peanut butter bliss…

And all plans changed immediately!

Little balls of safe-to-eat peanut butter cookie dough…

Soft and delicious – like an unbaked peanut butter cookie. They can take care of even the biggest peanut butter cravings. Just look at them!

Sometimes, a recipe needs to be shared with the world right away.

This is one of those times.

Peanut Butter Bliss Balls

(makes 26-30)

• 1 cup peanut butter OR allergy-friendly alternative
• 1/4 cup applesauce, plus scant 2 tbsp if needed
• 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp flour (I’ve had success with sorghum, white, spelt, ww pastry, buckwheat, and oat)
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar of choice OR xylitol
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/8 tsp salt
• optional, chocolate chips or raisins

Line a large plate or tray with parchment paper, and clear a space in your freezer. If needed, gently warm the nut butter until it is stir-able, then measure it into a large bowl. Stir in the applesauce and vanilla. In a small bowl, stir together all remaining ingredients, then add them to the wet mixture. Stir until evenly mixed. Form balls with a cookie scoop, then place the balls on the parchment-lined plate. (If the dough is too soft, due to the type of peanut butter you’ve used, freeze until firm enough to form balls.) Freeze the balls a few hours until they are firm enough to handle without being sticky, then transfer to a bag or container and store in the freezer. (If you wanted to cook these instead of eating them in a raw cookie dough form, you should make the recipe a little differently: Secret Peanut Butter Cookies.)
