Ingredients
The Truffles:
- ½ cup creamy almond butter
- 2 tablespoon 100% pure maple syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoon Sprinkles
For the Topping:
- ⅔ cup white chocolate
- 1 - 2 teaspoon coconut oil
- extra sprinkles
Instructions
- Make the dough: In a large bowl, mix the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond extract, and coconut flour until well combined. Once the mixture is smooth, fold in the sprinkles.
- Shape the truffles: Roll the dough into 12–14 balls using your hands. Place them on the prepared baking tray, spacing them out slightly. Freeze for 10–15 minutes to firm them up.
- Melt the chocolate: Place the white chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each session, until fully melted and smooth.
- Coat the truffles: Remove the tray from the freezer. Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, using two forks or spoons to coat them evenly. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined tray.
- Decorate and chill: Sprinkle the coated truffles with extra sprinkles, then freeze them for another 20 minutes until the chocolate sets.
- Serve and store: Enjoy the truffles straight from the fridge, and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes
- Dairy-Free + Vegan Option: Just use dairy-free white chocolate for the coating, and the recipe will be completely dairy-free.
- Storing: Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. You can also freeze them for up to two months—just thaw in the fridge for a few hours before enjoying.
- Nut-Butter Subs: You can swap almond butter for peanut butter, cashew butter, granola butter, or even sun butter for a nut-free option.
- White Chocolate Subs: You can substitute white chocolate with milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or dairy-free white chocolate, depending on your preference. Each will give a slightly different flavor, but they all work well!
- Melt chocolate in short bursts: Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, to avoid burning or clumping.
