Description
The BEST healthier version of a classic holiday treat! These buckeyes still have the characteristic, soft cookie dough texture with the same peanut butter chocolate punch. Refined-Sugar-Free, Grain-Free, Dairy-Free, Gluten-free, Low Sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
- 2 tbsp. coconut flour
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1, 4oz. 100% dark chocolate bar
- 2 tsp. coconut oil
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and coconut oil. Melt in the microwave on high for about 45 seconds.
- Add in the almond flour, coconut flour, honey, vanilla, and chopped walnuts. Stir well until a thick dough forms. Cover and chill for 15 minutes in the freezer.
- With a tablespoon, scoop out evenly-sized balls of dough, rolling each one lightly between the palms of your hands to smooth. Place on a sheet of wax paper.
- Chop up the dark chocolate to help it melt faster. Combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Melt in a double broiler or with the microwave.
- Use a spoon to dip each ball of dough into the melted chocolate. Place back on to the wax paper and let the chocolate harden fully before serving.
- (Optional) drizzle leftover melted chocolate and coarse sea salt over the top of each “buckeye”.
