Description
Soft, fudgy, and naturally sweet, these Chocolate Almond Butter Balls have a truffle-like texture that feels indulgent without the crash.
Ingredients
1 ripe banana, mashed until smooth
1/2 cup almond butter (creamy works best)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup almond flour
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Optional: a small handful of dark chocolate chips or crushed nuts for texture
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, mash the banana until there are no lumps.
2. Add the almond butter, cocoa powder, almond flour, flaxseed, vanilla, and salt. Stir until everything comes together in a thick, brownie-like dough.
3. If the mixture feels too soft to roll, add a tablespoon of almond flour at a time until it firms up.
4. Scoop out small potions and roll into balls using your hands.
5. Place the balls on a parchment-lined plate or tray.
6. Chill in the fridge for 20-30 minutes, or until firm.
7. Store in an airtight container or fridge for up to 5 days.
