1/8 teaspoon salt
3 to 5 teaspoons coconut flour
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir together the almond butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Add 3 teaspoons of coconut flour and mix for about 1 minute until the mixture begins to firm up.
- If the mixture is too soft to roll, let it rest for 5 minutes, then add more coconut flour as needed.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips if using.
- Roll the mixture into 16 small balls, about 1 inch each.
- Store in an airtight container until ready to eat.
Notes
Swap almond butter with other nut or seed butters for variation.
Omit chocolate chips for a smoother texture.
Add extra vanilla for enhanced flavor.
Roll balls in cocoa powder for a richer finish.
Store at room temperature for up to 1 week, refrigerate for 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Let chilled or frozen balls sit at room temperature before serving for best texture.
