Healthy Peanut Butter Balls
Healthy Peanut Butter Balls are a fun spin on the traditional recipe. They're made with only 5 ingredients, including peanut butter and coconut flour, and they're the perfect afternoon or post-workout snack.
Servings: 18 balls
Calories: 143kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter see notes
- ¾ cup coconut flour
- 5 tablespoon maple syrup
- ¼ cup butter softened
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Whisk peanut butter and maple syrup together; then, add softened butter and whisk. It's ok if there are a few lumps of butter -- it'll all blend together in the end.
- Next, fold in coconut flour until well combined. Use your hands to form mixture into 15-20 balls, placing them on a lined baking sheet and then placing that into the freezer.
- Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together until smooth. (I usually do this in the microwave in 30 second intervals).
- Take peanut butter balls out of the freezer, then drizzle them with chocolate. Store balls in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
Notes
*Calories are for 1 peanut butter ball and are an estimation
*Use peanut butter where the only ingredient is peanuts, or peanuts and salt. That way, the texture is correct and the recipe will turn out perfectly.
*Can use dairy free butter and dairy free chocolate chips to keep these vegan
*If mixture still seems too soft, add 1 more tablespoon coconut flour; if mixture seems too dry, add 1 more tablespoon maple syrup -- it should be easy to roll into balls
