My Almond-Cocoa Orbs

Makes about 16

  • 1/2 c. dry roasted almonds

  • 1 c. almond flour

  • 1/3 c. unsweetened raw Cocoa powder (Ghiradelli's is one of the more pure brands)

  • 2 - 2 1/2 Tbs. Coconut oil

  • 1/4 c. shredded, unsweetened Coconut

  • 1/4 c. Inulin fiber (chicory root)

  • 3 - 4 Tbs. Bocha Sweet (to taste)

  • 1 tsp. almond extract

  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

  • 1/4 c. puffed millet cereal (opt)

  • 1 tsp. poppy or chia seeds (opt)

In blender, process roasted almonds into rough chop.  Add almond flour, cocoa powder, 2 Tbs.coconut oil, coconut, sweetener, and extracts.  Pulse to combine. 
If texture is too dry to hold shape, add more coconut oil by teaspoons until batter just holds together...can be a little crumbly.

Place in a bow. Add millet cereal or poppy seeds if using, and mix in by hand.  Shape into 1-1/2 inch orbs and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment.

You can roll them in more coconut shreds, or cocoa if desired. Refrigerate until hard.
