1/4 tsp salt include this only if your peanut butter isn’t salted for balanced flavor.
1/4 cup maple syrup serves as a natural sweetener, bringing moisture and a hint of caramel flavor.
1 tsp vanilla enhances the overall flavor profile, making every bite more aromatic.

For the Chocolate Coating

1 cup chocolate chips choose dark or semi-sweet for a rich chocolate experience.
1 tsp coconut oil helps to melt the chocolate smoothly for a glossy finish on your Healthy Buckeyes.

How to Make Healthy Buckeyes

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Combine the almond flour, natural peanut butter, salt (if using), maple syrup, and vanilla in a mixing bowl.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop dough portions onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
