Ingredients
1 (15oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 Tbsp almond butter
3 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp cocoa powder
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- For the dipping chocolate
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1 tsp coconut oil
Directions
- Place black beans, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and cocoa powder in a food processor and blend until completely smooth with no visible bits of bean (should look like chocolate ganache).
- Transfer to a bowl and stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
- Scoop mixture into heaping tablespoons and roll into balls
Place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes, or until firm. - Melt the remaining chips and coconut oil in a double boiler (or microwave) until smooth and shiny.
- Take the prepared balls from the freezer and, using two forks, pop them one by one into the melted chocolate rolling them to cover completely – and place on a parchment cookie sheet.
- Top with sprinkles if desired and place the balls in the fridge to set.
Notes
- Keep stored in the fridge to prevent melting
