Chocolate Truffles

These delicious little bite-sized chocolate treats are based on the  Danish ‘havregryskugler’. The sweetness comes from the pureed chestnuts which are high in protein and complex carbohydrates - so you wont get that unpleasant sugar rush and crash. There is no cooking involved - just combine the ingredients and roll to your preferred size for this speedy snack option.

• 250g oats

• 150g pureed chestnuts

• 40g best quality cocoa powder (check for no added sugar)

• 0.4 cups coffee

• coconut flakes for coating
