Cocoa Balls (5 ingredients + minutes!)
Servings 16 balls
These cocoa balls have a perfectly fudgy texture with a strong chocolate taste. As a bonus, they’re naturally paleo and vegan.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (256 grams) unsalted natural almond butter or for non-paleo, natural peanut butter (the only ingredients should be nuts)
- 1/4 cup (29 grams) cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 to 5 teaspoons coconut flour
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips optional, I prefer them without! (use paleo/vegan chocolate, if needed)
Instructions
- Mix everything but the coconut flour and chocolate chips.1 cup (256 grams) unsalted natural almond butter, 1/4 cup (29 grams) cocoa powder, 1/3 cup (80 ml) maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Add 3 teaspoons coconut flour.3 to 5 teaspoons coconut flour
- Stir for about a minute or until it's firmed up and you can roll the mixture into balls. If it still doesn't seem firm enough to roll into balls, let the mix sit about 5 minutes so the coconut flour has time to absorb the moisture. Then add more coconut flour, if needed.
- Add in the chocolate chips, if using. That might be easiest with your hands.1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- Roll into sixteen 23-gram (about 1") balls.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week, refrigerate for 2 weeks or freeze for 3 months.
