Description
These Vegan Peanut Butter Buckeyes are just like the traditional buckeyes made vegan. They are soft, creamy, and maple-sweetened with no powdered sugar. A classic, no-bake Ohio candy made dairy-free, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free!
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened peanut butter powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup vegan butter, melted & slightly cooled
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened oat milk (or other plant milk)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter powder, salt, maple syrup, melted vegan butter, vanilla, and 3 tablespoons oat milk. Mix until smooth and thick. Adjust consistency Add additional oat milk 1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture resembles soft peanut butter fudge. It should be creamy and pliable, not sticky or runny.
- Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour, until firm enough to roll without being too sticky.
- Scoop about 1/2 tablespoon of the mixture and gently roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place them back into the fridge for 30 minutes. To make the peanut butter balls smoother, re-roll them when they are very chilled.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together until smooth. Insert a toothpick into the center of each buckeye. Gently dip each one about ¾ of the way into the chocolate, leaving the top exposed.
- Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes, until the chocolate is set. You can smooth out the top where the toothpicks were if desired.
Store refrigerated up to 7 days or freeze up to 2 months.
