Equipment
- Small food processor
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond Flour or other nut flour
- 6 each Dates pitted
- 2-3 tsp Matcha powder
- 2 tsp Coconut oil
- 2-3 T Maple Syrup or Honey (or sub stevia to taste for Keto)
- 1/2 tsp Mint extract
- 1/4 cup Cocoa nibs or Mini Chocolate chips
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients except for the cocoa nibs until dough is formed. Adjust the sweetness level by adding a little more maple syrup or honey.
- Mixed in cocoa nibs last
- Form little balls by taking a heaping teaspoon of the dough and rolling tighter with hands. (If the dough starts to stick, sprinkle a little bit of water on your hands first)
- Place the balls on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Place in the fridge so they set up.
- Transfer to a freezer zip lock bag and place it in the freezer for up to a month!
Notes
They’re even good frozen or they defrost pretty quickly as well. Enjoy!
