Ingredients
- 1.5 cups raw nuts (to be blended in to nut butter) or 1 cup nut butter (I used a combo of almond, cashew and pecan but any mixture will work)
- ¼ cup maca powder
- ¼ cup cacao powder (plus extra for dusting)
- 2 Tbsp tahini
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch salt
- Optional: 1 Tbsp honey or maple syrup (leave out for a sweetener-free snack)
Takes 15 min, makes around 10 truffles
Instructions
- If using whole nuts, add to a high strength food processor or blender and process until forming a nut butter (it will turn to a nut flour at first but keep going until it liquifies – you may need to scrape down the sides a few times)
- Add all remaining ingredients to the blender and process until smooth
- Take small spoonfuls of the mixture and gently roll into balls (they will be very soft at this stage but will firm up in the fridge)
- Place truffles on a plate and dust extra cacao over them using a fine tea strainer or colander
- Place in the fridge to firm up for at least 1 hour, then enjoy your hormone-balancing snack! Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 1 week
