Vegan Buckeyes

These vegan buckeyes are great for halloween or leave the eyes off and make them any time of the year! They're made with a few whole-food ingredients, are gluten and refined sugar-free, and can be made in just a few minutes, besides the time you're patiently waiting for them to firm up! ;)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder *See Notes
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Mix together all of the ingredients besides the chocolate, until a smooth dough forms.
  • Roll them into balls and place on parchment-lined cookie sheet. Stick the pan in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
  • When ready to dip the balls, melt the chocolate. Dip each ball in the chocolate, leaving a bit of the top still showing. I find it easiest to use a toothpick to dunk them.
  • Place them back on the cookie sheet and place a candy eyeball (or a few) on each one. Stick them back in the freezer for at least 30 mins to firm up completely. Store them in the freezer & let thaw a few mins before eating!

Notes

*You can leave out the protein and add in more almond flour.
