Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.33 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons stevia or erythritol (granulated, to taste)
- 0.5 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g. almonds, walnuts, pecans)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until fully mixed.
2. Melt the coconut oil in a microwave or over low heat on the stove until just liquefied.
3. Add the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and stevia or erythritol to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a dough-like consistency forms. Adjust the sweetener to taste if necessary.
4. Mix in the shredded unsweetened coconut and any optional chopped nuts. Stir until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
5. Use your hands or a small cookie scoop to form the mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
6. Arrange the chocolate balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a tray.
7. Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate balls to firm up.
8. Once set, serve the Paleo Low Carb Chocolate Balls straight from the fridge. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
