Healthy Buckeyes Recipe
Do you love chocolate and peanut butter? This Healthy Buckeyes Recipe is for you. It is a sweet treat. It tastes like a candy bar.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Mixing spoon
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Microwave Safe Bowl
- Toothpicks
Ingredients
- Natural Peanut Butter 1 Cup
- Maple Syrup 1/4 Cup
- Coconut Flour 1/3 Cup
- Vanilla Extract 1 Tsp
- Dark Chocolate Chips 1/2 Cup
- Coconut Oil 1 Tsp
Instructions
- Mix peanut butter and maple syrup. Use your large mixing bowl. Stir them until they are smooth. Add the vanilla extract now. This creates a wet base.
- Add the coconut flour slowly. Stir it into the wet mix. The dough will become thick. It should not be sticky. You want a firm dough.
- Scoop small bits of dough. Roll them into round balls. Use your hands for this. Place them on the baking sheet. Keep them in even rows.
- Put the tray in the freezer. Let them chill for thirty minutes. They need to be firm. This helps the chocolate stick. Cold balls dip much better.
- Melt the chocolate and oil. Use the microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in short bursts. Stir the chocolate every few seconds. It should be very smooth.
- Poke a ball with a toothpick. Dip it into the chocolate. Leave the top part bare. This makes it look like a nut. Repeat for all the balls.
- Freeze the balls again quickly. Wait for fifteen more minutes. The chocolate must be hard. Smooth the toothpick holes shut. Now they are ready.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter always.
- This makes the texture smooth.
- Chill the dough very well.
- It prevents the balls from melting.
- Sift your coconut flour first.
- This removes all the lumps.
- Use high quality dark chocolate.
- It tastes much better.
