Healthy Eats! | Truffle-icious! Chocolates and Walnuts
It’s Wednesday my sweet friends! Feel like chocolate?
Yes, it’s Hump day! Did you know the phrase Hump Day was first used in 1965 because Wednesday is right in the middle of the week? Once you make it over the “hump” you can slide into the weekend
Just another reason to enjoy a delicious treat! Right?
Today I made Truffle cookies! I thought you would enjoy a peek. They’re light and chocolatey, full of healthy walnuts! There are so many truffle recipes but I wanted to create something a bit healthier. I hope you’ll enjoy them.
Chocolate Walnut Truffles
The Dough
- 2 eggs or 2 flax eggs
- Organic Maple Syrup (1/4 cup)
- Vanilla (1 tsp)
- Baking Chocolate (10 oz)
- Gluten Free Flour (1 cup)
- Baking Powder (1/4 tsp)
- Dairy free Butter (2 tbsp.)
- Walnuts (1 ½ cup)
- Dairy Free Chocolate Chips (1/2 cup)
Melt the Chocolate…
along with the butter in a double boiler or in the microwave. Keep an eye on it, burned chocolate is the worst!
While the Chocolate is Melting...
mix the eggs so they’re fluffy, adding the vanilla and Maple Syrup. When the chocolate is melted add it to the egg mixture. I have to say, nothing better than warm buttery chocolate. Trust me, taste it! Mix the dry ingredients in a small bowl and add this to the chocolate mixture. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
Chop the Walnuts and grab the chocolate chips…
The final step…
A final stir! (And taste?)
- Into the oven! Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes on a parchment lined baking sheet. If you can wait about 10 minutes….
Enjoy! Chocolate Walnut Truffle Cookies
Grab a glass of milk my friends. You’ll need it!
Need a treat for those school lunches? Having friends over this weekend? These are quick to make, and easy to eat! Thanks for stopping by today.
And as always, blessings to you all
Howdy there birdsinparadise! oh man..these look absolutely dreamy, chocolate and walnuts are such a wonderful combination! Plus they look healthy, it's too good to be true! lol.
Oh yum @birdsinparadise, these are almost like a brownie batter? Looks absolutely delicious with all those nuts!
Thank you my sweet friend! The batter was quite brownie like- in fact I was concerned they wouldn't hold their shape but they were perfect. Brownie like texture and very chocolaty :) Good to see you today! Hope your weekend guests are an enjoyable group this week!
oh man I had no idea that one could melt copious amounts of chocolate within the batter itself. I will have to try this one day with kiddo - who is obsessed with baking cookies. SO YUM!!
They are tasty...I'm sure the little one will love them! :) I love baking as well! Thank you @derosnec, so glad you stopped in today!
I bet these taste like heaven my Dear and they seems easy enough to make even for me with my not so good hands, lol 🌸💖🌸
Oh my, you are too kind. I'm trying to make a few treat to take to a friends house this weekend...thought these would be nice. I think you could definitely make these one-handed being the amazing kitchen elf that you are ;) Take care of that wrist and hand now!!! (Don't play to hard with the little guys this weekend!)
Yep, chocolate is my kryptonite. These look super delicious. I just made some cacao sugar free black bean brownies that satiated my chocolate tooth. They turned out better than they sound. 😉. Did I ever tell you that I have a virtual folder saved specifically for your recipes… you just wait until I can eat sugar and sweets again. I’ll be making up a @birdsinparadise kitchen storm. Enjoy your weekend my friend.
Gosh, you are too kind! I am honored that you enjoy my recipes. I can't wait until you can try some of them...hopefully sooner than later! The Bird family will eat a black bean brownie batch in no time...yum! You're the best my friend!
I’m telling ya, they are better than they sound :)
