Almond Butter "Boo" Bites (Paleo)
 
 
Created by:
Serves: 12 (2 bites each)
Ingredients
  • ½ cup creamy unsweetened almond butter
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ½ cup pumpkin
  • 3 tablespoons raw honey
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, softened
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ginger
  • ⅛ teaspoon cloves
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 5 tablespoons coconut flour
For the Ghostly Glaze:
  • ¼ cup coconut butter
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • mini chocolate chips for the faces (I used Enjoy Life brand)
Instructions
  1. In a stand mixer, whisk almond butter and maple syrup for 30 seconds until it forms a paste. Add in the rest of the ingredients except for the coconut flour and mix together.
  2. Add coconut flour 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition, until you have a sticky dough.
  3. Spoon dough into a storage container and freeze for 30 minutes to and hour, or until dough is able to be rolled without sticking to your hands.
  4. Roll dough into balls on a parchment-lined tray or baking sheet. Freeze for an additional 15 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, make the glaze by melted coconut butter and coconut oil in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
  6. Spoon glaze over almond butter bite, then decorate with chocolate chip "eyes" and "mouth." Repeat the process for all the bites. My batch made about 24 bites.
  7. Freeze for a final time for a few minutes, until set. Store in freezer or fridge.
Notes
~I used both honey and maple syrup, but you could probably use all of one or the other. I just liked the flavors of both.
~Depending on what brand of coconut flour you use, you may need to add more or less. I used Trader Joe's brand.
