ALMOND HEMP CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES for a Happy Gut
Ingredients
½ cup almond butter
6 tablespoons coconut oil, refrigerated until solid
½ cup hemp seeds
½ cup almond flour
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons cocoa powder, plus more to coat
Unsweetened coconut flakes, to coat
Finely chopped almonds, to coat
Step 1:
Mix together all the ingredients (except the coconut flakes, almonds, and extra cocoa powder) in a mixing bowl and form into 1-inch balls.
Step 2:
Roll each ball in the coconut flakes, almonds, or cocoa powder to make a variety of truffle balls. Place on a serving dish or set aside in an airtight container.
Tip: The hemp seeds add texture to these truffles. If you like a smoother consistency, grind the seeds in a food processor or spice grinder first.
