Baking has always been my favourite past time…When I was little, I spent the entire school holidays in the kitchen baking up a storm…December holidays were no exception…I mean, Christmas is synonymous with baked treats…right?
Something that I always made were choc chip peppermint cookies…I would buy some candy canes, crush them up and add them to my cookie dough…Last Christmas I was actually able to recreate that recipe and come up with a healthier version… With load shedding and the Durban heat though, I decided that this year I needed to give that cookie recipe a make over and so I came up with these choc chip peppermint truffles…
These are healthy (just like last years version), hit the spot on the peppermint front BUT require nothing more than a blender (To be honest…with load shedding, I actually managed to make these by using a potato masher LOL)
Please give them a bash…I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!! Add the peanut butter and honey to a microwave friendly mug and pop into the microwave for 20-30 seconds to soften slightly. Add the chickpeas, softened peanut butter and honey mixture and peppermint essence to a blender and blend until smooth. Add the coconut flour and blend again until a pliable dough starts to form. Stir in the chopped chocolate chips and pop into the fridge for 20-45 minutes to cool. Once cooled, roll into balls and enjoy xxx If your dough is too dry then add 2 TBS of unsweetened almond milk and blend again. If your dough is too wet then add an extra tsp of coconut flour and blend again.Choc chip peppermint truffles
