Ingredients
Filling
- 1 cup almond butter
- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Coating
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions
- First, add filling ingredients to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to scoop dough into 1 inch balls. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Place baking sheet in the freezer for 20 minutes to harden.
- After 20 minutes, remove pan from freezer.
- Next, make chocolate coating. Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stopping to stir between each increment.
- Once melted, dunk each ball of dough into the melted chocolate. Push around with a fork or spoon until fully coated.
- Then, place back on baking sheet. Repeat for each ball of dough.
- Sprinkle sea salt on top if desired.
- Return pan to freezer to freeze for 20 minutes or until hardened.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Filling dough will be somewhat thick but reminiscent of cookie dough.
- Use creamy almond butter (not chunky). Creamy peanut butter or cashew butter work well too.
- All nut butters are different. Add more coconut flour if needed to achieve a thick cookie dough like substance. See photo above for reference.
- Freeze balls of dough until they are hardened and no longer sticky.
- Melt chocolate and coconut oil in 30 second increments. Stop to stir until smooth. Mine only took 1 minute total of microwaving. Do not burn!
- Use a fork or spoon to roll balls of dough around in melted chocolate.
- Freeze again until chocolate coating is completely hardened.
