Chocolate-Nut Truffles

CHOCOLATE-NUT TRUFFLES

(adapted from Robin Robertson, Cook the Pantry)

1/2 cup vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/3 cup oat flour (make your own by buzzing oatmeal in the food processor)

1/2 cup almond butter or peanut butter

1/3 cup finely crushed toasted almonds, unsweetened cocoa powder, or confectioner’s sugar (optional)

Instructions:

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or use a metal bowl over a saucepan simmering with boiling water.

 Remove from the heat and stir in the flour and nut butter, mixing until well combined. Use your hands to shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and set on a plate. If desired, roll the balls in the crushed almonds, cocoa powder, or sugar. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up a bit before serving.
