Peanut, Oat & Apricot Bites with Salted Chocolate
I like the flavor and texture of raw rolled oats, but toasting them would be great too. If you decide to try it, just cook and stir the rolled oats in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes or so until they turn golden brown (let them cool before adding them to the mix).
Servings: 20 bites
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon real vanilla extract
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 5 dried unsulfured apricots diced into 1/4" chunks
- 4 ounces good quality dark chocolate chopped (or chips)
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- flaky sea salt such as Maldon
Instructions
- Combine peanut butter, honey, and vanilla in a medium bowl; stir. Add oats and apricots; stir until thoroughly combined. Scoop mixture into individual sections of a silicone or regular ice cube tray. Press firmly to form cubes.
- Combine the chocolate and cream in a glass bowl; place over a pan of simmering water. Stir constantly until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth, about 3 minutes. Spoon the chocolate mixture over each bite and smooth with a spatula. Lightly sprinkle the top of each bite with flaky sea salt. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until chocolate is firm. Remove bites from trays, transfer to a covered container and refrigerate until you’re ready to eat.
