- A pinch of salt
INGREDIENT NOTES
Almond flour:
- Adds a smooth texture as well as a mild nut flavor. The use of superfine almond flour yields the greatest results.
Nut butter:
- Either almond/peanut butter is good. Pick natural & unsweetened foods to earn points.
Sweetener:
- Sugar-free maple syrup keeps carbs away. It can also use a honey alternative or liquid stevia.
Vanilla extract:
- This will give a warm, cookie-like smell. The best result is the use of pure vanilla.
Chocolate chips:
- One can keep the points in check with the sugar-free chips. Dark mini chips are slightly melted, but they taste richer.
Salt:
- It balances sweetness, which brings out the flavors. It is enough to take a small pinch.
DIRECTIONS
- Mix the almond flour, almond butter, salt, sweetener, & vanilla in a mixing dish.
- When a thick dough develops, stir with a spoon/spatula.
- Add the sugar-free chocolate chips & fold till completely combined.
- Roll the dough into bite-sized balls using a spoon.
- Arrange each ball on a parchment paper-lined tray.
- freeze for at least 30 minutes to solidify.
- For a softer bite, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes or serve it right out of the refrigerator.
TIPS
- Even-sized fat bombs should be made using a cookie scoop.
- Should the dough soften, roll after a cooling period of 10 minutes.
- To add necessary texture, add a tablespoon of shredded coconut.
- When coconut flour is substituted for almond flour, the flavor changes.
- To look fancy, drizzle with melted sugar-free chocolate.

FAQs

On Weight Watchers, how many can I eat?
