It’s the perfect treat to show love for yourself and your health too!
Ingredients
•1 1/4 cup almond flour or almond meal
•1/2 cup chopped almonds
•1 stick salted butter, softened (Use coconut oil to make this recipe vegan. If using coconut oil you’ll want to add extra salt, 1/4-1/2 teaspoon)
•1/3 cup confectioner’s swerve (you can also use regular powdered sugar)
•1 teaspoon almond extract
•1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
•1 cup chocolate chips (I prefer a no sugar variety like @lilys_sweets)
•sea salt, coconut, or topping of your choice
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat or stir together butter, swerve, almond extract, and vanilla extract until creamed together. Add almond meal and chopped almonds and mix in.
- Roll in a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 min or more.
- Heat chocolate chips for 30 seconds in the microwave. Stir and heat for another 30 seconds. Repeat in 30 second increments until completely melted.
- Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with wax paper. Roll dough into 1” balls and place on wax paper.
- Using a spoon, dip each ball into melted chocolate and place on baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt, shredded coconut or other topping of your choice.
Refrigerate to store.
