Description

These healthy buckeyes are a no-bake, naturally sweetened treat made with peanut butter, almond flour, maple syrup, and rich chocolate. Vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and irresistibly delicious for guilt-free snacking!


Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups almond flour

  • 1 cup natural peanut butter

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (if peanut butter is unsalted)

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup chocolate chips

  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil


Instructions

  • Make Peanut Butter Dough: In a bowl, mix almond flour, peanut butter, salt (if using), maple syrup, and vanilla extract until a thick dough forms.

  • Roll & Chill: Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place on a lined baking sheet and chill for 30 minutes.

  • Melt Chocolate: Microwave chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

  • Dip Buckeyes: Dip each peanut butter ball into the chocolate, coating about two-thirds of the ball. Return to the tray.

  • Chill Again: Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until chocolate is set. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.


Notes

  • Use almond butter for a peanut-free version.

  • Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet-salty twist.

  • Perfect for holiday platters or healthy sweet cravings.
