Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Healthy Peanut Butter Balls
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, add 1 cup of natural peanut butter, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy for about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gently stir in 1/2 cup of coconut flour and let the dough sit for about 10 minutes to thicken.
  3. Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator and chill for about 1 hour to firm up.
  4. Once chilled, form approximately 28 balls about the size of a tablespoon and place on a tray lined with parchment paper.
  5. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, stirring until smooth.
  6. Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before placing them on the tray.
  7. Refrigerate the chocolate-coated balls for about 30 minutes to harden before serving.
