Made with almond flour, natural peanut butter, and sweetened with maple syrup, they offer a wholesome snack option that’s easy to prepare and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without guilt.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt (only if peanut butter isn’t salted)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, thoroughly combine almond flour, natural peanut butter, salt (if using), maple syrup, and vanilla until a smooth dough forms.
  2. Form Balls and Chill: Roll the mixture into balls of desired size. Place them on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. Melt Chocolate: In a small bowl, melt the chocolate chips along with coconut oil in the microwave, heating in 30-second increments and stirring in between until smooth.
  4. Dip Buckeyes: Using a fork, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate to cover about two-thirds of the ball. Lift out and place back on the tray.
  5. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the dipped buckeyes for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
  6. Store: Keep the buckeyes stored in the fridge until ready to eat to maintain their shape and freshness.

Notes

  • You can substitute oat flour for almond flour, but start with 3/4 cup and gradually add more until the dough can be rolled into balls.
  • If using salted peanut butter, omit the added salt to avoid over-seasoning.
  • Ensure the chocolate is tempered slightly by stirring well after melting to avoid a dull finish.
  • Store buckeyes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
