chocolate almond bites are a deliciously simple treat that fits perfectly into both vegan and keto lifestyles. With just five ingredients, they’re quick to make and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth guilt-free.
Ingredients
- ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup almond butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup vegan chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
Directions
Lin a baking sheet with some parchment paper. In a bowl, mix together the almond flour, almond butter, and vanilla extract until you get a soft, doughy mixture. Roll the dough into small balls, about half an inch each, and place them on the lined baking sheet. Pop the tray in the freezer for around 20 minutes so the balls firm up. While that’s chilling, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 15-second bursts and stirring in between until smooth—this should take about 1 to 3 minutes. Once the balls are firm, dip each one into the melted chocolate, then set them back on the baking sheet. Sprinkle some chopped almonds on top before letting them sit for about 10 minutes until the chocolate hardens. Enjoy your little treats!
