Units Scale

Instructions

  1. Mix the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, coconut flour and almond flour together in a bowl until it forms a dough. If your mixture is too runny, add some extra almond flour. If it’s too thick, add a bit more peanut butter.ย 
  2. Roll into balls, about 1 tbsp of dough per ball and place on a baking sheet with parchment paper.ย 
  3. Place in the fridge to set for 10 minutes while you prepare the chocolate.
  4. Use a toothpick to dip each ball into the melted chocolate, covering about 3/4 of the way. You can optionally use any leftover chocolate to drizzle on top.
  5. Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.ย 
  6. Store in the fridge.ย 

Notes

Depending on the brand of peanut butter you use, you may need to add a bit more or less coconut/almond flour. (Some peanut butter can be more liquidy and others can be thicker.) Adjust as needed.ย 

The peanut butter dough should be sticky enough to roll into balls but firm enough that they hold their shape nicely. If your dough feels too sticky, add some extra coconut or almond flour.

If the dough feels too soft to roll into balls, place in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to help the dough firm up.
