Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- pinch of salt
- ¼ cup chocolate chips (or to taste)
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt butter: Add the vegan butter to a bowl and microwave until melted, ensuring it’s smooth and easy to mix.
- Combine wet ingredients: Whisk in the maple syrup and vanilla extract thoroughly into the melted butter to create a cohesive wet mixture.
- Add dry ingredients: Gradually add the almond flour, coconut flour, and a pinch of salt into the bowl, mixing well to combine into a dough-like consistency.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips to evenly distribute throughout the dough without breaking them up.
- Taste and adjust: Sample the dough and add a sprinkle of granulated sugar if a sweeter flavor is desired, mixing well to incorporate.
- Chill to set: Place the dough in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to harden, which also helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
- Serve: Transfer the chilled dough to bowls for eating as is or roll into balls for an easy, handheld snack.
Notes
- The coconut flour can be substituted with tapioca starch, though this will slightly alter the flavor and texture.
- For a richer taste, use high-quality vegan butter and pure maple syrup.
- Adjust the amount of chocolate chips based on preference for more or less sweetness and texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
