Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Base
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)
- 1/2 cup almond flour (or oat flour for nut free)
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 1/8 tsp salt
Coating
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (melted)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 cup powdered monkfruit sweetener
Instructions
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, almond flour, and salt until a thick dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, add an additional tablespoon of almond flour to reach the right consistency.
- Form the Truffles: Roll the dough into 1-inch diameter balls and place them evenly spaced on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Freeze the Truffles: Place the tray in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to allow the truffles to firm up and set properly before coating.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Dip the Truffles: Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate coating them thoroughly. Lift them out and let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
- Coat with Sweetener: When the chocolate has just started to set but remains slightly tacky, roll each truffle in the powdered monkfruit sweetener to achieve a sweet, powdery finish.
- Chill to Set: Place the coated truffles in the refrigerator and let them chill for about 15 minutes to fully set the chocolate coating before serving.
- Serve and Enjoy: Your Muddy Buddy Truffles are now ready to be enjoyed as a tasty, nutritious treat!
Notes
- You can substitute oat flour for almond flour to make the recipe nut-free.
- If the dough is too sticky to handle, add additional flour one tablespoon at a time until manageable.
- Use dark chocolate chips with at least 70% cocoa for a richer flavor and less sweetness.
- Powdered monkfruit sweetener is used as a low-calorie alternative to powdered sugar to keep the truffles healthier.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
- For a vegan version, ensure the chocolate chips and peanut butter you use are vegan-friendly.
