Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy unsalted peanut butter

Method by eatwithclarity.com. Cook it from their page if you can, so the people who developed and tested it get the visit.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup or honey with the peanut butter. Stir well to combine.
- Fold in the remaining ingredients aside from the chocolate chips.
- Mix with a rubber spatula until well combined. Because of the nature of peanut butter, it can take a few minutes to really get it well mixed up, but if you need to use your (clean) hands, don't hesitate!
- If the dough seems too dry, add in a bit more maple syrup or even a splash of milk or extra peanut butter to soften it a bit. On the other hand, if the mixture is too wet, add in a bit of extra oats.
- Add in the chocolate chips and mix together until combined.
- Use a cookie scoop or a regular spoon and roll into balls with about 1 1/2 tbsp of "dough." Use your hands to kind of smoosh the ingredients together and then roll into a ball in the palm of your hand.
- Place in the fridge to set for about an hour. Enjoy!
