Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix together almond flour, peanut butter, salt*, maple syrup, and vanilla.
  2. Roll into balls and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil on 30 second increments in the microwave.

Notes

  • Using oat flour. You can also use oat flour, but you will need to adjust the amount. Start with 3/4 cup and add more as needed until you are able to roll into balls.
  • Chill the peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes before dipping. If you skip this, they'll crumble in the melted chocolate.
  • Chill again for 15 minutes after dipping. Don't skip this second round either; the chocolate needs time to fully set.
  • Store in the fridge. Room temperature makes them too soft, and they can be frozen for up to 3 months.
