Ingredients

Ingredients
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter*
  • 1/3 cup almond flour/meal
  • 1 Tbsp. maple syrup*
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, melted (dairy free, no sugar added if needed)
  • 1 tsp. coconut oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix all ingredients (except chocolate and coconut oil) in a medium sized bowl.
  2. Roll mixture into balls. If sticky, add a little more almond flour as desired to get a good consistency to work with. You can also press mixture into a silicone mold for fun shapes. Use a cookie scoop for ease if preferred but I usually just use clean hands!
  3. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  4. Melt chocolate with coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals until smooth and melted.
  5. Roll chilled balls into melted chocolate, sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired, and then freeze for another 30-60 minutes. Once chocolate has set, enjoy!

Notes

  • Store in the freezer (We love using Stasher bags) and pull one out when ready for a treat!
  • Sub honey for maple syrup if not vegan. OR for a no added sugar option use melted coconut oil.
  • Can substitute a different nut butter if you don't like peanut butter. Almond butter, cashew butter, and hazelnut butter are all great options. 
  • I like to microwave the nut butter for about 30 seconds to get it smooth and easier to work with when stirring. 
  • You can melt chocolate using a double boiler or I most often use the microwave. Microwave in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stir, and microwave again until smooth. Use 1-3 tsp. coconut oil to give the chocolate a smooth consistency.
