Paleo Buckeyes
These Paleo buckeyes are a perfect holiday treat for those who are Paleo - and those who aren't! For a nut-free version, see comments below.
Ingredients
- 1 cup nut butter*
- ½ cup almond flour*
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or other sweetener
- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean powder
For coating:
- ¼ cup cocoa powder*
- ¼ cup coconut oil* melted
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or 5 drops liquid stevia
Directions
-
Combine nut butter, flours, sweetener and vanilla.
-
Use a round scoop and your hands to make small balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Freeze for one hour.
-
Meanwhile, gently melt together coconut oil, cocoa or chocolate chips*, and sweetener for chocolate coating, either over a double boiler or in microwave, stirring after 20 second intervals until combined.
-
*(For an alternative coating, melt together 1 cup dairy-free, naturally sweetened chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon coconut oil.)
-
Remove balls from freezer and use a toothpick to gently roll balls in chocolate coating, leaving just a small circle uncovered.
-
Freeze for an additional 20 minutes.
-
Store in refrigerator or freezer for up to one week.
Recipe Notes
*To make these without almonds/nuts, replace nut butter with sunflower butter, omit almond flour, and increase coconut flour to 1/4 cup.
