1 cupchocolate chips

1 tablespooncoconut oil

Instructions

Step 1

Add almond flour, coconut flour, oats, salt, and coconut sugar to a large bowl and mix it to combine everything and break up any clumps. Then add peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and milk to the same bowl and mix until everything comes together.

Step 2

In a separate, microwavable bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil and microwave, at 30 second intervals, until the chocolate is melted (stirring in between trips to the microwave).

Step 3

Form the dough into bite-sized balls and place them on a plate. Then, one at a time, dip the balls into the melted chocolate with a fork and place back onto the plate.

Step 4

Place the balls into the freezer until the chocolate sets up, then transfer to an air-tight storage container.

Step 5

For best results, store them in the fridge or freezer (the chocolate tends to get melty at room temperature), and munch on them when you need a little pick-me-up (eating them straight out of the freezer is my favorite!).
