Chocolate Balls
Makes: 12 balls
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour/nut meal (finely ground almonds or other nuts)
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup or raw honey
Instructions:
- Mix the nut meal, cacao powder, and maple syrup in a bowl.
- Roll the mixture into 12 balls.
Tips:
- Add 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
- Add essential oils (therapeutic-grade only): cinnamon, orange, peppermint, tangerine—start with 1 drop and increase to 2-3 drops to taste.
- You can use this mixture to make brownies by forming the mixture into squares, or a dessert pie by pressing it into a pie plate with your fingertips.
- Roll the balls in superfoods like shredded coconut, goji berries, hemp seeds, or cacao nibs for extra texture and nutrition.
