Sugar-Free Low Carb Paleo Snickerdoodle Truffles
Servings 12 truffles
Calories 103kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup macadamia nut butter
- 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup Monk Fruit Allulose brown sugar substitute or another brown sugar sub
- 1/2 tsp maple extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon liquid stevia
- pinch salt
- 2 ounces sugar free chocolate chips Outer Coating
Instructions
- Mix the Base-In a large bowl or stand mixer or food processor, combine the nut butter, protein powder (or almond flour), monk fruit sweetener, cinnamon stevia, maple extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and dough-like.
- Shape Into Truffles-Use a cookie scoop or small spoon to portion the dough. Roll between your hands until you form a bunch of little truffles, about 12 total. Place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or cookie sheet.
- Melt the Chocolate-In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt your sugar-free chocolate chips with a teaspoon of coconut oil, stirring until smooth.
- Dip and Coat-Drop each truffle into the melted chocolate, coating fully with the help of a fork. Tap to remove excess chocolate and place back on the parchment paper.
- Set and Store-Let them set in the fridge until the coating hardens. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for longer storage.

I do recommend flavored cinnamon stevia here to really add the flavor of traditional snickerdoodles, but if you don't have it, use vanilla stevia and add 1/4 tsp of ground cinnamon.
