Ingredients


1/2 cup Almond Flour
3 tbsp Coconut flour
1 tsp Ginger, ground
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Almond butter
2 tbsp Honey
2 tbsp Molasses
1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips (for dipping; optional)
1 tsp Coconut oil (for dipping; optional)

Instructions


Step 1: In a large bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, ginger, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2: In a small bowl, mix together almond butter, honey, and molasses.

Step 3: Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until well combined (use hands if needed)

Step 4: Chill dough for 30 minutes before rolling into balls.

Step 5: While chilling, prepare the chocolate sauce for dipping (optional). Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave in a series of 20 seconds, mixing in between each interval so the chocolate doesn’t burn. Take out once completely melted.

Step 6: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7: Remove the chilled dough from the fridge and roll into balls. Then, dip/coat each ball with the chocolate mixture and place them on the baking sheet.

Step 8: Place the balls back in the fridge or freezer for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes:

Tip:

To increase the "wow" factor:

  • Before dipping the truffles into the chocolate mixture, insert lollipop sticks into the centre of each ball to make cake-pops!
  • Sprinkle each dipped truffle with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, crushed nuts, candy cane pieces, or holiday sprinkles before refrigerating. 




Storage instructions:

These gingerbread truffles can be stored in the fridge, or freezer for longer keeping.
