Pumpkin Chocolate Truffles
For some reason, you don’t often see pumpkin and chocolate combined. But let me tell you, it is truly a match made in heaven and these “healified” truffles will prove it to you.
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup almond butter substitute cashew or sunflower seed butter as preferred
- 1 tbsp coconut oil softened but not melted
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 scoop unflavored collagen optional
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips vegan if preferred
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Lined a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond butter, coconut oil, coconut flour, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, collagen. Mix until well combined.
Chill the pumpkin truffle mix for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Once chilled, roll into bite sized balls.
In a microwave safe bowl, add your chocolate chips and 1 tsp of coconut oil. Microwave in 30 second increments until melted and mix well.
Dip the pumpkin truffles into the chocolate glaze. Place on the parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Let sit until the chocolate glaze hardens.
Enjoy right away, or placed in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
