Equipment
- 1 Food Processor
- Mixing Bowl
- Measuring Spoons
- cookie scoop optional
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 cup finely ground oats or oat flour
- ¼ cup chocolate protein powder
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder separated. 2 tablespoons for recipe, 1 tablespoon for rolling.
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup natural almond butter or cashew butter

Instructions
Add to Food Processor
- Add Almond flour, oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, salt, almond butter, Baileys, maple syrup, and vanilla (everything except cacao nibs) into a food processor.1/2 cup almond flour, 1 cup finely ground oats, ¼ cup chocolate protein powder, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, ¼ teaspoon sea salt, ¼ cup natural almond butter or cashew butter, 3 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream, ¼ cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Blend
- Blend for about 1 minute until it turns into a thick dough. I like to use the dough setting on my food processor when making truffles. Check the texture: If it’s too dry → add 1 teaspoon Baileys or milk. If it’s too sticky → add 1 tablespoon almond flour.
Fold in Cacao Nibs
- Stir in the cacao nibs (or chocolate chips).2 tablespoons cacao nibs or mini dark chocolate chips
Scoop and roll into balls:
- I used a tablespoon to make 12 big ones, but you could use a 1/2 tablespoon to make 24 small ones.
Roll in cocoa powder
- Roll in cocoa powder if you want that classic truffle look.3 tablespoons cocoa powder
Chill
- Put them in the fridge for 20–30 minutes to firm up and enjoy!
