Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter (no added sugar)
  • 1/4 cup vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cacao)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Method
 

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, protein powder, maple syrup, coconut flour, and sea salt until a stiff dough forms.
  2. Roll the mixture into 12 uniform balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
  3. Place the balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze for 20 minutes to firm up.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth.
  5. Using a toothpick or skewer, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, leaving a small circle of peanut butter visible at the top.
  6. Place the dipped buckeyes back onto the parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate coating is fully set.
