Ingredients
For the peanut butter mixture
- 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter (no sugar added) Make sure to use natural peanut butter with no added sugars for the best flavor and health benefits.
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (or honey/maple syrup) Adjust the sweetness according to your taste.
- 1/4 cup coconut flour Add more if the mixture is too soft.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
For the chocolate coating
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (70% or sugar-free) Using dark chocolate that is 70% cocoa or sugar-free is best.
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
Preparation
- 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.
Chocolate Coating
- 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.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze for up to three months. You can add chopped nuts or seeds to the dough for a crunchier texture.
