Chocolate Chickpea Truffles

I have a love/hate relationship with social media. One minute I love it because that’s how I find so many good recipes, like these Chocolate Chickpea Balls. I would have never known about these had Lovely Delites not posted a reel of them. But the next minute social media makes me feel like I am completely failing at life. I am up and down and all over the place with how I feel after scrolling.

This is by far one of my favorite healthy recipes, mostly because it doesn’t taste healthy! They taste like a brownie, the chickpeas are sneaky. Some of my other favorite must-try healthy recipes are Cucumber Avocado Salsa , Vegan Broccoli Salad , and Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tacos !

What You’ll Need

1 (13.5 oz) can Chickpeas, Drained & Rinsed

1/2 cup Almond Butter

2 cups Vegan Chocolate Chips, Divided

How to Make Chickpea Chocolate Balls

Line a baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Drain and rinse 1 (13.5 oz) can of chickpeas and add to a food processor.

Add 1/2 cup almond butter to the food processor.

Then melt 1 cup vegan chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring the chocolate at each interval until completely smooth and melted. Pour into the food processor.

Blend until ingredients are well incorporated.

Using a 1 inch cookie scoop, place scoops of dough on the parchment paper. Place pan in the freezer for 15 minutes.

Remove from the freezer and roll into balls. Place back in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Melt remaining 1 cup vegan chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring the chocolate at each interval until completely smooth and melted.

Remove balls from the freezer and dunk into the melted chocolate. Tap off any access chocolate and place back onto the parchment paper. Let chocolate harden.

Chocolate – You don’t have to use vegan chocolate, any melted chocolate works.

Coating – I think these taste good without the chocolate coating!

Nut butter – You can use any nut butter in place of the almond butter.
