Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups natural peanut butter (no added fat or sugar)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate; use vegan chocolate if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (I used refined for no coconut taste)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt.
  2. Add in the coconut flour and let it sit for about 10 minutes as it absorbs the mixture.
  3. Refrigerate the mixture for an hour or freeze it, wrapped in plastic for up to three months.
Chocolate Coating
  1. In a small bowl or pot, melt together the chopped chocolate and coconut oil until smooth.
  2. Roll the dough into 28 balls and place them on a tray.
  3. Freeze the balls for firming up.
  4. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate and place on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for a week, or freeze for up to months. Add nuts or spices for flavor variations.
