Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Microwave-safe bowl
- Baking Tray
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter (no sugar added)
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (or honey/maple syrup)
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (70% or sugar-free)
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually fold in the coconut flour until a thick, pliable dough forms. If the mixture is too soft, add an additional tablespoon of coconut flour.
- Line a tray with parchment paper. Roll about 1 tablespoon of dough into a smooth ball and place on the tray. Freeze for 15–20 minutes until firm.
- Combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and glossy.
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off before returning it to the tray.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes or freeze for 10 minutes until the chocolate is firm. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Because these balls use natural peanut butter and no stabilizers, they are best stored cold to maintain their shape and chocolate snap.
