Ingredients

For the Truffles

For the Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup chopped dairy-free quality chocolate OR chocolate gems, or dairy-free chocolate chips , we like Hu's Kitchen Gems OR Lily's Sweets
  • 1 tbp coconut oil

Optional toppings

  • hemp seeds, shredded coconut, finely chopped nuts, cacao powder, or Maldon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

  2. In a medium bowl, use a fork to mix the nut butter together with the maple syrup and vanilla. Slowly add in the almond flour, cacao powder, cinnamon and salt then continue stirring until the mixture resembles brownie batter. Add a little bit more nut butter or maple syrup if the mixture is too dry or add more flour if the mixture is too wet.

  3. Scoop out 1/2 tablespoon-sized dough and roll it into a ball, repeating with the remaining dough. Place your truffles onto the prepared baking sheet and place the pan in the freezer for 10-15 minutes, or until firm.
