Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the tigernut flour, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Mix well until a dough forms.
-
Use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Flatten each ball with your palm to create cookie shapes. You can also use cookie cutters for fun holiday shapes.
-
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the coconut butter and coconut oil together until smooth.
-
Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the carob powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well to combine.
-
Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up slightly.
-
Once the mixture is firm enough to handle, use a small cookie scoop to portion out the truffles. Roll each portion into a ball and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
-
Return the truffles to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to set.
-
Dust the truffles with extra carob powder or shredded coconut before serving.
