Almond Butter Truffles

This almond butter truffle makes a good Easter dessert recipe. You can make them much larger, in the shape of eggs, and drizzle with white chocolate.  I sprinkled some with coconut. Other options would include nuts, seeds, grated chocolate, and cacao powder.

To make this soy,gluten and dairy free, use Enjoy life dark chocolate baking chips. 

While it is a treat, the dark chocolate contains magnesium, the almond butter provides protein and quality fats.  

This would also make a good treat after a long run or workout.  

Ingredients:

  • ¾ c. almond butter (I prefer the fresh ground, not the ones with added oils and sugars)
  • ½ c. coconut flour
  • ¼ c. coconut palm sugar
  • ½ c. dark chocolate broken into chunks (I used one bar of dark chocolate and the excess I drizzled over the truffles)
  • 1 t. coconut oil

Directions

  1. Mix the almond butter, flour and sugar until well blended. (I did have to use my hands to get all the ingredients blended)
  2. roll into balls and freeze for 20 minutes
  3. melt the chocolate with the coconut oil
  4. dip the almond balls into chocolate and place on parchment or wax paper/ sprinkle on desired toppings
  5. Keep in freezer for at least 30 minutes. Store in fridge until ready to eat!
