Mix Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, peanut butter, maple syrup, and kosher salt. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. The mixture may become stiff, so you might find it easier to mix and mash with your hands.
Add Chocolate Chips & Form Bites:
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
