Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup of cocoa powder
- ¼ cup almond flour or almond meal
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon plain greek yogurt
- 1 egg white from a large egg
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Sift flour, cocoa powder, almond meal, and salt into the bowl of your food processor.
- Add maple syrup or honey, Greek yogurt, egg white, and vanilla inside the food processor bowl. Turn it on and let everything combine thoroughly.
- Preheat oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll dough into small balls (the size of store bought puffs) preferably with the help of others who will enjoy this treat, place it on baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Around minute 10, I open the oven and with an oven mitten I give the tray a gentle shake to turn the puffs. This prevents them from burning at the bottom.
- Remove, allow cocoa puffs to cool and store in an airtight container for up to a week.
