Ingredients
  

1 cup natural peanut butter (choose creamy for smoothness or crunchy for added texture)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (for a vegan alternative)

1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned works best)

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional, for a hint of sweetness)

1/4 teaspoon salt (to enhance flavor)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for aromatic depth)

Instructions
 

Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter with honey (or maple syrup). Use a spatula to stir the mixture vigorously until it reaches a smooth, uniform consistency.

    Add Dry Ingredients: Introduce the rolled oats, unsweetened shredded coconut, salt, and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture. If you opted for chocolate chips, gently fold them in at this stage. Continue mixing until all ingredients are thoroughly blended together.

      Chill the Mixture: To make the mixture easier to shape, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes. This slight chill will firm it up nicely.

        Form the Cookies: Once chilled, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Arrange the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy removal later.

          Final Chill: If you prefer, you can gently flatten each ball using the back of a fork or your hand for a slightly different texture. Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for an additional 10 minutes to set the bites further.

            Serve and Enjoy: These delightful no-bake peanut butter cookies are now ready to be devoured! Store your bliss bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will stay fresh for up to a week.
