How to make Healthy no bake peanut butter truffles
Step 1: use a mixer to beat together peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut palm sugar, and salt for the filling.
Step 2: add in the coconut flour slowly, until the mixture is not wet but not very dry.
It should be easy to roll the balls without the mixture sticking to your hands.
This will depend on your peanut butter texture how much flour to add.
I used ¼ cup of coconut flour as my peanut butter was drippy.
Step 3: Roll the truffle filling into small balls and place on a wax paper or parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Freeze for 5 minutes to chill slightly.
Step 4: While the peanut butter balls are chilling, melt the coconut oil and chocolate in the microwave (be careful not to burn).
Once melted, stir in the salt to combine.
Step 5: Drop the peanut butter balls one at a time into the chocolate, and use a spoon to drip the chocolate over the balls.
Use a fork to get the balls back out and onto the cookie sheet. (look up a tutorial for necessary, but it’s really quite easy!)
Step 6: Freeze or refrigerate the peanut butter truffles until the chocolate is set.
One note is that these will melt at room temperature, so it’s best to eat them straight from the fridge or freezer!
