Truffle Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup nut butter (such as raw almond butter)
- 1/2 cup oat flour (or coconut flour)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or raw honey)
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (adjust based on taste preference)
Glaze Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup melted coconut butter
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (adjust to taste; make sure it’s room temperature to avoid solidifying the coconut butter)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Truffles:
In a food processor, combine the nut butter, oat flour, maple syrup, pumpkin spice, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree. Process the mixture until it forms a dough that sticks together. - Shape the Truffles:
Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This recipe should yield about 12 truffles. - Chill the Truffles:
Refrigerate the truffles for about 10-15 minutes while you prepare the glaze. - Prepare the Glaze:
In a small bowl, mix the melted coconut butter with room temperature maple syrup (or raw honey). Stir until smooth and well combined. - Glaze the Truffles:
Drizzle the glaze over the chilled truffles. Place them back in the refrigerator for another 10-15 minutes to allow the glaze to set.
