This recipe is based on Cookie Bites by Erika over at Good Clean Food. With my first taste of those nutty-chocolaty bites, I knew I’d be making them at home – and making them again with a few minor twists. Enter peanut milk and peanut meal.

How to Prepare Cocoa PB Balls [Vegan]

In a food processor, process the mixed grain (or oats) until broken down into small pieces. Remove from the processor and place in a large mixing bowl.
Put the peanuts, peanut milk and peanut meal in the food processor and process into a nice, thick slurry. Add the cocoa powder, chia seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt and vanilla and process to combine. Remove from the processor bowl and add to the grain mixture.
Stir in the hemp seeds, coconut and flaxseed meal and mix until all the ingredients are moistened and thoroughly combined. Add more peanut milk if the mixture seems dry. Store in an airtight container for a few hours or overnight.
Form the mixture into walnut-sized balls. Keep in the refrigerator.
