HEALTHY SALTED DARK CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL TRUFFLES



Healthy Salted Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Truffles image

These healthy truffles will blow you away! The soft, nutty, peanut butter oatmeal center combined with the salted dark chocolate outer layer make them a delicious dessert. They are fairly easy to make with just a handful of ingredients, so I like to whip them up in small batches for the week and keep the in the fridge. If you'd like to make more, you can definitely double or triple the recipe!

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup pecans
1 cup rolled oats
¼ cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons coconut oil
¼ cup cocoa powder
3 tablespoons maple syrup
coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Bake pecans in the preheated oven until toasted and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 10 minutes.
  • Combine toasted pecans, rolled oats, and peanut butter in a food processor or blender; blend, stopping to scrape down sides, until a thick "dough" forms.
  • Microwave coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl until melted, 10 to 15 seconds. Stir in cocoa powder and maple syrup until smooth. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Roll dough into 1-inch balls with your hands. Dip balls one at a time in the chocolate mixture using a spoon or fork, covering all sides. Transfer to the baking sheet. Let truffles sit, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle sea salt on top.
  • Refrigerate truffles until set, about 20 minutes.

DELICIOUS HEALTHY TRUFFLES



Delicious Healthy Truffles image

These make a great snack or dessert. I keep them in a bowl in the fridge, covered, for about three days, and my family munches one or two when they want a bit of something instead of having a piece of chocolate or a cookie. I adapted the recipe from George Mateljan's World's Healthiest Foods website.

HEALTHY PRUNE TRUFFLES



Healthy Prune Truffles image

Sweet, juicy prunes become delicious bon-bons when dipped in chocolate. Just three make a satisfying dessert that's as tasty as it is good for you. You can eat them as soon as the chocolate sets, or keep them for a few hours at room temperature or in the fridge; they're equally tasty chilled.

Time 51m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 smoked almonds
12 pitted prunes
24 freeze-dried raspberries
2 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Stuff a whole almond into the space where each prune pit was. Fold and press the prunes around the almonds (it's fine if the almonds peek through a bit). Put the prunes on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Put the raspberries into a resealable plastic bag and crush into a fine powder. Place the powder in a small shallow bowl.
  • Put the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 70 percent power for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave; the chocolate will still look solid but will be softened. Stir until smooth.
  • Dip one end of a prune in chocolate, let any excess drip back in the bowl, and then dip the chocolate end into the crushed raspberries to coat. Put the prune back on the baking sheet, almond-side down, and repeat with the remaining prunes. Let the prunes stand until the chocolate hardens enough to come away cleanly from the paper, about 15 minutes.
