Substitution Notes for Healthy Almond Butter Balls

Natural, Creamy Almond Butter: try swapping the almond butter in these healthy almond butter balls with peanut butter, sunflower seed butter or cashew butter.

Pure Maple Syrup: try using agave syrup, brown rice syrup or your favorite liquid sweetener. Just proceed with caution, as different sweeteners have different levels of sweetness, taste, and thickness. A more watery sweetener might need to be decreased for the recipe. 🙂

Coconut Flour: there is no direct substitute for coconut flour in most recipes. Fortunately, my healthy almond butter chocolate balls is fairly flexible. Try swapping the coconut flour with gluten free oat flour or almond flour. Just keep in mind, coconut flour is most absorbent, oat flour is medium absorbent, and almond flour is least absorbent of wet ingredients. So you’ll need more oat flour or even more almond flour if subbing.

Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: try raw cacao powder instead.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Clear some space in the freezer for this sheet. Set aside at room temperature.
  2. In a medium bowl, add almond butter, maple syrup, coconut flour and cacao powder. Whisk as long as you can. When the mixture gets harder to stir, use a rubber spatula to fold until well incorporated. Fold until thickened.
  3. Using a cookie scoop, scoop and drop almond butter balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart. Here are the small and medium cookie scoops I use.
  4. Transfer to the freezer to chill for 20-30 minutes, until somewhat firm.* Remove from freezer and roll into balls, or enjoy as is! Storing instructions below.

  1. My toddler and I made these today and they were delicious. We used a homemade mixed nut butter. The mix is peanuts, blanched almonds, cashews and hazelnuts. We also used agave syrup as that’s all we had in. The hazelnut is incredibly delicious with the cocoa powder.
    Thanks so much for this super simple and delicious recipe.

  2. Hi, I’ve tried several combos for such truffles before and really excited to try this one. Could I possibly substitute honey for maple syrup? Thank you!

  3. Just finished making these! I added a little organic unsweetened coconut flakes to the last few and they are really quite delicious! Thanks for the recipe!! 🙂

  4. These energy balls are just what I need to get over the mid-afternoon slump. And, I love that they’re healthy and only have a few ingredients. Win win!
