Ingredients
- 6 pieces Gluten-free Weetbix
- 0.5 cups Almond butter (or any nut/seed butter of choice)
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 0.25 cups Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 100 grams Dark chocolate (gluten-free, dairy-free if needed)
- 1 teaspoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the gluten-free Weetbix into fine pieces using your hands or a rolling pin.
Step 2
Add almond butter, maple syrup, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients bind together into a sticky mixture.
Step 3
Using clean hands, roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls (approximately 1-1.5 inches in diameter). You should get about 12 bites from the mix.
Step 4
Place the bites on a parchment-lined tray or plate and set them aside while preparing the chocolate coating.
Step 5
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil in 20-second increments, stirring each time until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, use a double boiler on the stovetop.
Step 6
Using a fork or small spoon, dip each Weetbix bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the bite back on the parchment-lined tray.
Step 7
Optional: Sprinkle additional shredded coconut or a pinch of sea salt on top of the bites before the chocolate sets for extra texture and flavor.
Step 8
Refrigerate the chocolate-covered bites for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
Step 9
Once set, transfer the bites to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy as a healthy snack or dessert!
