Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates, pitted
- 0.5 cup Almond butter
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 3 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (Whole30 compliant)
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional for topping)
Instructions
Place the pitted Medjool dates in a bowl and cover them with warm water. Soak for about 10 minutes to soften.
Drain the dates and add them to a food processor. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
Add the almond butter, cocoa powder, coconut flour, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the date paste in the food processor.
Process the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and form a dough-like consistency.
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, portion out the mixture into small balls, approximately 1 tablespoon each. You should have around 12 balls.
If desired, roll the balls in the chopped nuts to coat.
Place the bon bons on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate, ensuring they are not touching.
Refrigerate the bon bons for at least 1 hour to set and firm up.
Once firm, the Whole30 Chocolate Bon Bons are ready to be enjoyed. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
