Healthy Pumpkin Truffles Recipe

Ingredients

1 ¼ Cups Coconut Flour
1 Cup Pumpkin Puree
½ Cup PB Fit
¼ Cup Maple Syrup
2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds, optional
2 Tablespoons Hemp Seeds, optional
¼ Cup Stevia
1 Cup Chocolate Chips, melted with 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, pumpkin puree, PB Fit, maple syrup, stevia, chia seeds, and hemp seeds if you're using them. Mix until well combined and a dough-like consistency forms.
Once the dough is mixed, use your hands or a small cookie scoop to form bite-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil or butter until smooth and fully melted.
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each pumpkin truffle into the melted chocolate, coating them completely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back onto the parchment-lined sheet or cookie rack.
Once all the truffles are coated in chocolate, place them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set and firm.
Enjoy your pumpkin truffles! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Coconut flour: Almond flour can be used as a substitute, but the texture will be different, and you may need to increase the amount since almond flour absorbs less liquid than coconut flour.

Pumpkin puree: Sweet potato puree or butternut squash puree can be swapped in for a different flavor.

PB Fit: Regular peanut butter or other nut butters (such as almond or cashew butter) can be used, though they will affect the texture and consistency of the dough.

Maple syrup: You can substitute honey, agave syrup, or any liquid sweetener of choice, but these will affect the overall flavor.

Stevia: You can use other low-carb sweeteners like monk fruit or erythritol.

Chia seeds and hemp seeds: These are optional and can be swapped with flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, or omitted altogether.

Chocolate chips: Use sugar-free chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or even white chocolate for a different flavor profile.
