Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of almond flour, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1/4 cup of almond butter, 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and a pinch of salt. Stir them together until well mixed.
- Next, add the almond butter and maple syrup to the bowl. Use a spatula or spoon to mix the ingredients together until they form a cohesive dough. The mixture should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and continue to mix until it is fully incorporated into the dough.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Once the dough is well mixed, use your hands to form small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should be able to make approximately 12 truffles.
- Place the formed truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. This will prevent them from sticking.
- Once all the truffles are formed, you can optionally chill them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm them up, but this step is not necessary.
- After chilling (if desired), your Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best texture, make sure to measure your almond flour and other ingredients precisely. This will help achieve that perfect dough consistency.
- Experiment with Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter truffle, feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup to your taste. Just remember to keep it balanced with the other ingredients.
- Add a Twist: Get creative by incorporating other mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top for an extra flavor boost.
- Chill for Firmness: While chilling the truffles is optional, doing so for about 10 minutes can help them firm up and make them easier to handle.
- Storage Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for up to a week. They also make a great grab-and-go snack!
- Serving Suggestions: These truffles can be enjoyed as a snack, a dessert, or even a post-workout treat. Pair them with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful afternoon pick-me-up!
