What You Need
Serves 6
1 cup coconut flour
1 cup vanilla protein powder
1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
½ cup almond butter, creamy ( I recommend using sunflower or pecan butter)
¼ cup plus 3 Tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons liquid stevia
½ cup dark, stevia-sweetened chocolate (Lily’s brand)
Instructions
- Find a rimmed pan that will fit in your freezer and line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl combine the coconut flour, vanilla protein, canned pumpkin, almond butter, ¼ cup of the coconut oil, vanilla extract and stevia. Mix well and if needed add another Tablespoon of coconut oil. Form into 32 balls.
- Place the balls on the prepared pan and put in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- In a double boiler, gently melt the dark chocolate and remaining coconut oil. Remove the pumpkin balls from the freezer and one-by-one roll in the melted chocolate. Return the coated balls to the freezer for 10 minutes. Drizzle any remaining chocolate over the tops of the bonbons in a nice design. Store in the freezer for up to a month and in the fridge for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
