That’s exactly what Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bliss Balls deliver. These no-bake treats offer the decadence of dessert with the nourishment of wholesome ingredients, making them ideal for snacks, post-workout bites, or healthy desserts. Let’s break down how to craft these irresistible energy bites from scratch.

Ingredients

To achieve the perfect texture and flavor balance, precise measurements matter. Here’s everything you’ll need:

Dry Ingredients:

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (blended into flour)
½ cup almond flour (for structure and smoothness)
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for deep chocolate flavor)
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for warmth)

Wet Ingredients:

½ cup natural peanut butter (smooth and unsweetened)
¼ cup pure maple syrup (for natural sweetness)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon melted coconut oil

Add-Ins:

⅓ cup mini dark chocolate chips
2 tablespoons crushed peanuts (optional, for crunch)

Optional Coating (for extra indulgence):

½ cup dark chocolate chips, melted
1 teaspoon coconut oil (to thin the coating)
Flaky sea salt for garnish

This ingredient list yields about 14–16 bliss balls, depending on size.

Instructions

Follow these simple but exact steps for consistently delicious results:

Step 1: Prepare the Oat Flour

Place rolled oats in a food processor or high-speed blender. Pulse until they form a fine, powdery flour. Measure one cup after blending to ensure accuracy. The finer the texture, the smoother your dough.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oat flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until the mixture looks uniform in color and texture.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate medium bowl, combine peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Stir vigorously with a spatula until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy. If your peanut butter is thick, warm it slightly in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to make it easier to blend.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir with a sturdy spoon or spatula until fully incorporated. The dough should come together and feel soft but not sticky. If it’s too dry, add one teaspoon of water at a time. If too sticky, add a tablespoon of oat flour.

Step 5: Add the Mix-Ins

Fold in mini chocolate chips and crushed peanuts. Mix until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6: Shape the Bliss Balls

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough. Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.

Step 7 (Optional): Dip in Chocolate

For an extra layer of decadence, melt dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Dip each bliss ball halfway or fully into the melted chocolate. Place them back on parchment paper and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.

Step 8: Chill

Refrigerate the bliss balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Once set, they’ll have the perfect chewy yet fudgy texture.

Conservation and Storage

Proper storage ensures these bliss balls maintain freshness and flavor:

Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Freezer: Freeze for up to three months in a sealed, freezer-safe bag or container. Thaw in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
Room Temperature: If your kitchen is cool and dry, you can keep them at room temperature for up to three days, though chilling preserves texture best.

To maintain optimal quality, avoid leaving them uncovered or exposed to moisture.

Variations

These bliss balls are highly customizable. Adjust based on your dietary needs or flavor preferences:

Nut-Free Version: Replace peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
Vegan Protein Boost: Add 2 tablespoons of plant-based chocolate protein powder and reduce oat flour by the same amount.
Keto-Friendly Option: Swap maple syrup for sugar-free syrup and use almond meal instead of oat flour.
Crunchy Edition: Mix in rice crisps or chopped roasted nuts for extra texture.
Mocha Twist: Add 1 teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the dry ingredients for a subtle coffee kick.

Each variation keeps the balance of sweetness and texture while offering new dimensions of flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Bliss balls adapt to any occasion:

Snack Attack: Enjoy one or two balls as an afternoon pick-me-up.
Post-Workout Bite: Pair with a glass of almond milk or a protein shake for recovery fuel.
Dessert Upgrade: Serve chilled with fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a guilt-free dessert platter.
Gift Idea: Package them in small jars or boxes lined with parchment paper for a homemade edible gift.
Party Platter: Roll some in cocoa powder, shredded coconut, or crushed nuts for a visually appealing variety.

Tips for Perfecting the Recipe

Use fresh ingredients: Stale oats or nut butter can dull the flavor.
Balance moisture: Peanut butter brands vary; adjust oat flour or syrup slightly to get a moldable dough.
Chill before coating: If dipping in chocolate, refrigerate the balls first so the coating sets quickly and evenly.
Blend oats finely: A coarse grind changes texture and makes rolling difficult.
Measure accurately: Scooping flour directly can pack it too tightly; spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off.

Precision ensures consistent flavor and texture across every batch.
