Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas, skins removed, patted dry
  • 1/3 cup natural nut butter of your choice (almond butter works well)
  • 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1 T. cinnamon
  • 2 T. honey, local if possible
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips, bittersweet or dark chocolate preferred

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients, except for chocolate chips, into a blender. Puree until a dough-like consistency forms. (You may need to pause the mixing and scrape down the sides of the container.) When done, transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add chocolate chips to mixture and stir until evenly distributed. 
  • Refrigerate dough for an hour or so to help the mixture reach the desired consistency. Once cool, use your hands to roll the dough into balls. Use about 1 Tbsp. of dough per ball. 
  • Store balls in an airtight container. Refrigeration is recommended. Enjoy a ball or two for your next afternoon snack!
