This Healthy Buckeyes recipe offers a wholesome twist on the classic peanut butter and chocolate treat, using almond flour, natural peanut butter, and maple syrup for natural sweetness. Perfect as a guilt-free snack or dessert, these buckeyes are easy to make and refrigerated to set the perfect texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt (only if peanut butter isn’t salted)
  • 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 unsalted peanut butter), maple syrup, and vanilla extract until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous dough.
  2. Form Balls and Chill: Shape the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a tray. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. Melt Chocolate: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips together with the coconut oil in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until completely smooth.
  4. Dip Buckeyes: Using a fork, lower each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, coating approximately two-thirds of the surface. Lift out and set on a lined tray. Repeat until all balls are dipped.
  5. Set Chocolate: Refrigerate the chocolate-coated buckeyes for at least 15 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden properly before serving.
  6. Store Properly: Keep the buckeyes stored in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and firmness.

Notes

  • Use salted peanut butter if omitting the added salt.
  • For a vegan version, make sure the chocolate chips are dairy-free.
  • These treats should be consumed within one week for optimal freshness.
  • Freezing is possible for longer storage; thaw before serving.
