Simple 4-ingredient truffles, perfect for a vegan homemade gift or just a late night nibble. Delicious, rich peanut butter dough coated in a shell of dark chocolate, I say no more.
Ingredients
  • 1¼ cup GF oat flour*
  • 1½ cup smooth peanut butter**
  • 3 tbsp. maple syrup
  • ½ tsp salt (if your peanut butter isn't salted)
  • 200g Dark non-dairy Chocolate
Instructions
  1. Place the oat flour, peanut butter, maple syrup and salt into food processor and blend until it forms a dough
  2. Roll into equal balls and place onto a lined baking sheet - the dough should make about 28-30 balls
  3. Transfer to the fridge while you melt the chocolate
  4. In a bain marie (a glass bowl sitting over a saucepan of water), melt the chopped chocolate, stirring frequently.
  5. Once melted, take the peanut butter balls out of the fridge and dip each one into the chocolate to coat the entire ball. Place back onto the greaseproof paper. I do this with two forks to try and not get toooo messy.
  6. Before the chocolate has set, sprinkle with some chopped peanuts (optional)
Notes
* If you don't have oat flour, blend 1¼ cups of oats in a food processor until it resembles a flour consistency.
** Make sure you use a creamy peanut butter oppose to a firm one. Alternatively, add a tablespoon or 2 of nom-dairy milk with the firm peanut butter
