Ingredients
-
1 cup Almond Butter
.25 cup Organic Maple Syrup
2 tbsp Bob's Red Mill Coconut Flour
8 tbsp Chocolate, Nestle Real Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Tips
times are approximate and cooking time is chilling time
Directions
Mix together almond butter and maple syrup until fully combined and smooth. Add coconut flour and stir until almond butter begins to thicken and turns into a dough.
Roll 1 tablespoon of dough into small balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until no dough remains. Set aside.
Melt the chocolate over a double boiler until completely smooth. (recipe is calculated using 1/2 cup chocolate morsels) Use 1 cup if you want chocolate covered truffles and use 1/2 cup if you want just a chocolate drizzle on top. If dipping, use a fork dip the almond butter balls into the chocolate and return them to the baking sheet. If drizzling, use a fork to drizzle the melted chocolate over the balls. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired. (sea salt not included in nutritional information)
Place in the fridge for 1 – 2 hours, until chocolate has hardened. And of course, enjoy!
NOTES: a few substitution ideas if you want to try a different variation:
The almond butter can be changed for any nut/seed butter
The syrup can be changed for any other liquid sweetener
The chocolate can be left off or swapped for a different type of chocolate or chocolate chips of choice; such as a dark chocolate bar (like 70 – 85% cacao) or milk chocolate morsels if you prefer.
Serving Size: 16 - 18 truffles
