This Healthy Buckeyes recipe offers a delicious and nutritious twist on the classic peanut butter and chocolate treat. Made with almond flour, natural peanut butter, and maple syrup, these buckeyes are naturally sweetened and coated in rich dark chocolate with coconut oil for a smooth finish. Perfect as a guilt-free dessert or snack, these no-bake buckeyes are easy to prepare and stored chilled for a perfect bite every time.

Ingredients

Scale

Peanut Butter Mixture

  • 1 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt (only if peanut butter isn’t salted)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, natural peanut butter, salt (if using), maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Form Balls: Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place the balls onto a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. Melt Chocolate: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  4. Dip Buckeyes: Using a fork, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, coating about two-thirds of the ball. Lift the coated buckeye out, letting excess chocolate drip off, then place it back onto the tray.
  5. Chill: Once all buckeyes are dipped, place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
  6. Store: Keep the buckeyes refrigerated until ready to serve. They are best enjoyed cold and can be stored for up to one week.

Notes

  • If your peanut butter is already salted, omit the additional salt to avoid oversalting the mixture.
  • Use natural peanut butter with no added sugar for a healthier version.
  • Ensure the chocolate chips and coconut oil are melted gently to avoid burning the chocolate.
  • Store buckeyes in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.
  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey if preferred, although this will affect the flavor slightly.
