In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter* and maple syrup. Whisk until smooth.
Add in rolled oats, ground flax seeds and/or chia seeds if using any. Mix together using a spatula or fork, until well combined
The texture should be a little bit sticky. Add 2 – 3 tablespoons of nut milk if the dough is too dry or crumbly.
Divide them into 9 muffin cups. Press them down.
Melt the dark chocolate with 2 tbsp of peanut butter.
Pour and spread the melted chocolate mixture on top of the peanut butter oatmeal dough. Sprinkle extra sea salt on top if desired.
Freeze for at least 30 minutes. Pop them peanut butter oat bites out of the muffin tray. Enjoy!

*Use smooth and preferably drizzly peanut butter. If the peanut butter has been refrigerated or very thick, mix it with maple syrup/honey and microwave it for 15 - 20 secs or until smooth.
* Mixing melted chocolate with nut butter can reduce cracking once the chocolate solidifies.
** The ground flax seeds and chia seeds both absorb liquid. If the dough gets too dry or crumbly, add additional 2 -3 tablespoons of nut milk.
