Ingredients
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1 cup oat flour
Instructions
- Prepare Peanut Butter and Heat Maple Syrup: In a mixing bowl, place the natural peanut butter to stand ready. Meanwhile, heat the maple syrup in a saucepan over medium-high heat until it begins to bubble, ensuring it is hot enough to blend smoothly but not boiling vigorously.
- Combine Syrup and Peanut Butter: Remove the hot maple syrup from the heat and pour it over the peanut butter. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and fully integrated, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Oat Flour: Stir in oat flour gradually, mixing until the dough is consistent with no dry spots. The oat flour provides structure and a slightly chewy texture to the fudge.
- Chill the Mixture: Place the combined dough into the refrigerator and chill completely until firm, which helps it set for shaping.
- Shape the Fudge: Once chilled, press the dough evenly into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper or a suitable liner. Score slits nearly to the bottom of the pan to form connected pieces that are easy to break apart later.
- Freeze Until Solid: Transfer the pan to the freezer and freeze the fudge until it becomes solid. When ready to serve, break off pieces along the scored lines as desired for a convenient, grab-and-go treat.
Notes
- Use natural peanut butter with no added sugar or hydrogenated oils for the healthiest result.
- Oat flour can be made by grinding rolled oats in a food processor if unavailable.
- Maple syrup provides natural sweetness and smooth texture; avoid substituting with honey to preserve flavor balance.
- Frozen fudge can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
- This fudge is best kept frozen until just before serving to maintain firmness.
