Description
Just like the center of a fig cookie, these bites are as delicious as truffles, but as easy and energizing as a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups almond meal
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup soft dehydrated figs, stems removed
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- I used my Vitamix. I tossed everything into the pitcher and let it blend until well combined. Use the stomper to mix as it blends.
- If you do not have a Vitamix, then use a food processor. Add all of the ingredients and blend until the ingredients. If it is having trouble blending because the dough is stiff, add a tablespoon of water at a time until the dough forms. It should be stiff but I don’t want you to burn up your food processor.
- I used a cookie scoop. A small size is perfect. Scooped the fig dough into balls and placed them on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Remove and roll in your choice of coatings: nuts, chocolate, sprinkles, cocoa powder, etc…
- Store in the refrigerator.
