Leave a comment

These are so yum and easy!

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/4 cup flax seeds

1/4 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cup oats

1/3 cup walnuts, lightly chopped

1/4 tsp sea salt

5 scoops collagen peptides

3 TB Your Super Chocolate Lover

Add maple syrup, chia seeds, flax seeds and vanilla to a small bowl or liquid measuring cup. Stir to combine and let sit while you toast the oats and nuts.

Toast oats in a pan over medium low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add walnuts and toast until the nuts are fragrant.

Add oats and nuts to the food processor and pulse into a rough flour. Add salt and collagen and pulse to combine thoroughly. Add Your Super chocolate lover and pulse to combine. Add the syrup, chia and flax mixture to the food processor and turn on until completely combined and the dough starts to pull away from the sides. The dough should easily come together to form balls (if it doesn’t, it needs more time in the processor).

Form the dough into balls and chill in the freezer for 4 hours. Store in the refrigerator or freezer. Enjoy!

    Cacao Sesame and Sunflower Balls

    Leave a comment

    The balls are very similar to my flax and pumpkin seed balls, they just highlight different seeds. Both are fantastic snacks or desserts that satisfy a chocolate craving without being too indulgent.

    Makes 15 balls:

    • 1/2 cup oats
    • 1/2 cup Sunflower seeds
    • 1/4 cup Sesame seed butter (tahini)
    • 1/4 cup coconut oil or grass-fed ghee
    • 2 TB cacao powder
    • (optional 1/4 tsp mushroom powder, I used lions mane in the batch pictured below)
    • a large pinch of sea salt
    • 1/4 cup raw honey or maple syrup
    • 1/8 tsp vanilla
    1. Blend oats and sunflower seeds into a chunky flour using a Vitamix (or another high-powered blender of your choice). Pour the chunky flour into a bowl.
    2. Blend tahini, coconut oil or ghee, cacao powder, optional mushroom powder, sea salt, honey or maple syrup and vanilla in the same blender bowl (without washing it in between).
    3. Remove the cacao mixture into the bowl containing the chunky flour. Stir it together and form the dough into balls using a spoon or portion scoop.
    4. Freeze the balls on a parchment lined plate or cutting board for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove balls to a storage container and store in the refrigerator.

    *please use organic ingredients, if possible.

    To make this recipe vegan dairy free, make sure to use coconut oil instead of ghee.

    The green ingredient is matcha coconut manna (or butter). CAP brand coconut manna is the absolute best and they have matcha and berry coconut manna (along with plain). All would work well in this recipe. While I would usually use plain coconut manna here, I really enjoyed the matcha version. Matcha is a green tea very high in antioxidants. This was a fun way to sneak some matcha into our day!

    Chocolate Covered Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Balls!

    2 Comments

    This recipe was inspired by a recipe that I created for my mother-in-law (No Bake Cheesecake, recipe coming this upcoming Thanksgiving!).

    Balls:

    • 1 lb cream cheese (32 TB) (organic and pasture raised)
    • 8 oz (14 TB) peanut butter
    • 1 1/2 cup maple syrup
    • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
    • 3/4 tsp salt
    1. Allow cream cheese, peanut butter and maple syrup to come to room temperature.
    2. Blend in your vitamix until completely smooth.
    3. Pour the batter into a bowl and freeze for 30 minutes.
    4. Use a portion scoop (or spoon) to scoop balls onto parchment paper. I like to place my parchment paper on top of a large cutting board for easy transfer in and out of the freezer. Freeze balls for 30 minutes. While balls are freezing, make or melt chocolate.

    Chocolate (14 1/2 oz or 1 1/2 cups melted) (see recipe below or click for my blog post about my chocolate recipe.):

    • 200 g cacao paste
    • 100 g cacao butter
    • 140 g (7 TB) maple syrup
    • 1/4 tsp vanilla
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    1. Melt all ingredients over a double boiler. Remove from heat.
    2. Whisk until thick and shiny.

    Dipping Balls in Chocolate:

    • Frozen balls (see above)
    • Melted chocolate (see above)
    1. Dip balls in chocolate and turn to coat using a knife (or offset spatula), a fork and a spoon. Use the knife or offset spatula to scrape the balls off the parchment paper. Use the fork to transfer the balls into the chocolate and use the spoon to coat the ball. Then use the fork to remove the ball and place back on the parchment paper.
    2. Freeze chocolate covered peanut butter cream cheese balls for 2 hrs, until completely hardened.
    3. Store in the freezer for an ice cream texture or store in the refrigerator for a cheesecake texture.

    *please use organic ingredients, if possible.
