Ingredients
Scale
For the Peanut Butter Balls
- 2 cups smooth peanut butter
- 3/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
For the Coating
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace: Line a large plate or tray with parchment paper and set it aside. This will be used to place the formed peanut butter balls to freeze and to cool after coating.
- Mix the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, coconut flour, and maple syrup thoroughly. Mix until fully combined. If the mixture feels too thick or crumbly, slowly add a small amount of liquid such as water or milk until the batter is thick yet easy to form into balls.
- Form the balls: Using clean hands, shape the mixture into small, bite-sized balls. Place each formed ball onto the prepared parchment-lined tray. Once all balls are formed, place the tray in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the chocolate: While the balls are chilling, melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Coat the balls: Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer. Using two forks, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Place each coated ball back onto the parchment paper tray. Repeat until all balls are covered in chocolate.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the coated peanut butter balls for about 20 minutes or until the chocolate coating has hardened and firmed up.
Notes
- For a smoother coating, temper the chocolate chips before dipping.
- You can substitute coconut flour with almond flour for a different texture.
- Choose natural peanut butter without added sugar for a healthier option.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a vegan option, ensure chocolate chips and peanut butter are vegan-friendly.
