healthier peanut butter truffles

Rich and decadent truffles are one of Dan's and my favorite desserts. So when I figured out how to make healthier peanut butter truffles at home we almost lost our minds! They're chocolately, creamy, sweet, and pack in more protein thanks to Greek yogurt and peanut butter powder.

Ingredients

Peanut Butter Filling

½ cup peanut butter powder
1 cup oat flour
½ cup peanut butter no added salt
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt non-fat
¼ cup monk fruit maple syrup
¼ teaspoon salt or as needed

Chocolate Coating

½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil
2 tablespoon peanut butter powder
⅓ cup crushed peanuts or a few
tablespoons of flaky sea salt for
topping

Instructions

Mix peanut butter filling ingredients until fully combined (it will be thick). Line a sheet tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Scoop 16 balls onto the tray using a 1.5" cookie scoop or two spoons. Dip the scoop/spoons in water to prevent sticking. Freeze for 10-15 minutes while preparing the chocolate coating.
Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a bowl, microwaving in 30-second intervals and stirring each time (1-1.5 minutes total). Stir in peanut butter powder.
Coat frozen peanut butter balls in melted chocolate using a fork. Place on the lined tray,sprinkle with flaky sea salt or crushed peanuts, and freeze for 15 minutes to set.

Notes

Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freezer for up to 3 months in an airtight container. (Best kept in the freezer.)

Maple syrup: Feel free to use regular maple syrup! It just increases the carbs.

Hand mixer: I find it easiest to mix the filling with a hand mixer because of how thick it is.
