Gluten-free Sweet Potato Energy Balls
A deliciously nutrition packed energy bite that is perfect for a snack or for a simple dessert.
Ingredients
- 12 oz Sweet Potato Pie Filling (or sweet potato puree) about ¾ of a can
- 1.5 cup Almond Flour
- ¼ cup Coconut Flour
- 2 tablespoon Almond Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¾ tablespoon Coconut Oil
- ½ cup Dark Chocolate (about 1 bar)
Instructions
- Combine Sweet Potato Pie Filling, almond flour, coconut flour, almond butter, vanilla extract, and cinnamon into a food processor. Mix on high until it is a smooth and is able to form a ball.
- Use a 1 inch scoop (or your hands) to form 20 energy balls, place them on a parchment lined sheet pan.
- Freeze the sheet pan with the energy balls for about 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, add coconut oil and dark chocolate to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute then stir thoroughly. Microwave again for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat this until all the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Remove the energy balls from the freezer and one at a time dip the top of the energy balls into the chocolate until about half coated (or more). Remove from the chocolate and place the non-chocolate coated side back on the sheet pan. Place the chocolate coated sweet potato energy balls into the refrigerator or freezer for at least 5 minutes or for storing! Remove when you are ready to enjoy!
