Mocha Brownie Batter Truffles
Vitamin rich, vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, refined sugar-free
Who can resist brownie batter? And who can resist mocha chocolate truffles? I combined these two into one delicious bite. A guilt-free, healthy dessert loaded with vitamins, protein and antioxidants. The secret ingredient is chickpeas; really - no dairy, no heavy fats, just a can of chickpeas blended with cocoa, coffee and maple syrup into a smooth, creamy paste. You could eat these truffles for dinner- they are that healthy! Loaded with fiber and protein with bold coffee and chocolate taste and subtle sweetness. No need to resist, just enjoy!

Instructions
1. Using a handheld or upright blender pulse together FIRST 4 ingredients for about 2 minutes until well blended into a wet dough-like consistency.
2. Scoop wet dough into a bowl and add dry ingredients: oat flour, cocoa powder, chocolate chips and salt. Stir to combine into a chunky batter.
3. Using a small, 1-inch (2,5 cm) ice cream scooper, scoop balls of dough and roll each into round truffles onto a nonstick tray. Freeze until firm (about 20 minutes).
4. Once balls are frozen, melt chocolate chips in microwave with coconut oil, heating in 30 second increments, stirring gently at every 30 seconds until fully melted.
5. Dip each truffle individually in the chocolate and place back onto the tray. Sprinkle with large crystal salt. Let chocolate harden quickly on frozen truffles. Store in freezer in an airtight container up to two months. Enjoy at cool room temperature.
