Looking for a guilt free treat to enjoy? Everyone will love these vibrant chocolate truffles packed with healthy ingredients.
Today we welcome back to WOT Carmen from Every Last Bite who is sharing with us her vegan and gluten free recipe for Matcha Truffles.
What happens when you cross a Bounty Bar with not 1 but 2 superfoods? You get these Matcha Truffles! The center of each truffle is made with just a handful of ingredients including a base of shredded unsweetened coconut, and avocado, which gives them a creamy texture.
Inside the dark chocolate coating, the center of each truffle is vibrant green in color thanks to the matcha and avocado combo. Make a batch of these to keep around the house, or gift to a friend, they are truly a treat that everyone will enjoy.
