Peppermint Chocolate Cookie Balls (grain and dairy free, paleo)

Jump to Recipe

Peppermint Chocolate Cookie Balls savorylotus.com

Yes, I’m on a peppermint kick right now.  It’s the holidays, and I realized that I didn’t have very many holiday treats on my site.  So here is another tasty paleo dessert indulgence to whip up for your friends and family.  This one is sure to impress. 

You may have seen my Chocolate Peppermint Gummy Treats a few days ago.  Holy Yum!  Those were good.  And so fast and easy to make.  I also posted my Holiday Bliss Balls to combat the stress of the holidays.  So kick back and enjoy one instead of joining the hectic mobs at the mall.  But today it’s something new: Peppermint Chocolate Cookies Balls.

And did I mention these paleo desserts are ridiculously easy to make?  No baking involved.  And they are loaded with protein-rich almond flour, immune and metabolism boosting coconut oil, and antioxidant-filled raw cacao.  You are going to love these. I promise!

Pin Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup blanched almond flour (like this)
  • 3 TBS raw cacao (like this) (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
  • 1/4 tsp celtic sea salt (I use this one)
  • 3 TBS coconut oil (like this), melted
  • 2 TBS raw honey
  • 1 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil OR 1/2 tsp peppermint extract (like this)
  • 2 TBS mini chocolate chips (where to buy dairy, soy, and nut free chips)

FOR DRIZZLE:

  • 1/4 cup coconut butter (like this), melted
  • 1 TBS raw honey
  • 1 drop Peppermint Essential Oil OR 1/4 tsp peppermint extract (like this)
  • hot water

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together almond flour, raw cacao, sea salt, coconut oil, honey, and peppermint extract until well combined. Then fold in chocolate chips.
  2. Form small spoonfuls of the dough into cute little balls and place onto baking sheet lined with unbleached parchment paper. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to harden.

FOR DRIZZLE:

  1. In a small bowl, combine melted coconut butter and honey into a creamy paste. Be patient here. Mix it up real good.
  2. Now add peppermint extract and 1 tsp of hot water at a time to create a drizzle consistency. You may need to add a bit more water if it’s too thick or a titch more melted coconut butter if it’s too thin.
  3. Use a spoon, squeeze bottle, or plastic bag with a tiny corner cut out to fancy up your balls.
  4. Enjoy! Store in fridge.

    Is coconut butter and coconut cream the same?

      No. Coconut cream is a type of coconut milk, the creamy liquid that comes from pressing fresh coconut meat. The difference between coconut milk and coconut cream is the consistency. Coconut cream is very thick, almost paste-like, and contains much less water than coconut milk does. Coconut cream can be made from simmering four parts shredded coconut in one part water. The cream that rises to the top of a can of coconut milk is also considered coconut cream. Coconut butter is made from processing dried shredded coconut until it makes a “butter.” Coconut butter is easy to make at home.

💧💧DRAINAGE IS ESSENTIAL • 3 easy things yo 💧💧DRAINAGE IS ESSENTIAL • 3 easy things you can do to get things flowing 💧💧

1️⃣ HYDRATION 💧💧💧• drink half your body weight in ounces every day • start the day with 32 ounces of clean water in the first 1-2 hours that you’re awake • drink clean, filtered water • tap water can be loaded with heavy metals, pesticides, + pharmaceuticals 😵• water makes up 60 percent of our total body weight + 90 percent of brain weight 🧠• adequate water intake is essential for the body to function properly • water delivers important nutrients to all of our cells, especially muscle cells (energy!!), helps to move the digestive process along through the system,  helps with constipation, moves toxins through the body faster, and optimizes kidney function (detox!) • without adequate water, toxins can’t be excreted + then can build up in the body 

2️⃣ BOWEL MOMENTS 💩💩 • aim for 1-2 good-sized bowel movements per day (think at least banana-sized 🍌) without feeling the need to strain or feeling of incomplete evacuation afterwards • if the food that we eat is not traveling through the body fast enough, it will sit in the bowels + ferment/rot and the toxins get reabsorbed into the body 😩+ can cause abdominal pain, bloating, + gas 💨• prioritize hydration to keep food moving + eat plenty of fiber to speed up digestion • avoid inflammatory foods • take magnesium to help things keep flowing • practice enemas to hydrate colon + to increase peristalsis • get a professional colonic to hydrate, tone, + clean large intestine • keep things flowing out • better out than in 😉

3️⃣ MOVEMENT 🤸🏽‍♀️🏃‍♀️💃🏻🚴🏽‍♂️• move your body every day • walk, run, jump, dance, ride a bike • take 2 minute movement tbreaks throughout the day • the lymphatic system is one of our main waste removal systems + relies on skeletal muscle contractions to keep flowing • prioritize exercise + walking • hot Epsom salt baths stimulate circulation, improve lymphatic drainage + promote sweating 🛁🛁• sweating in a sauna stimulates the lymphatic system to release excess water + toxins 💦💦
🥥🍋 COCONUT FLOUR LEMON CAKE would be PERFECT 🥥🍋 COCONUT FLOUR LEMON CAKE would be PERFECT for this weekend 🐇🐇 • made with 2 layers of my simple coconut flour cake • smothered in lemon curd 🍋🍋 and cream • it’s light with a bright lemon flavor 🍋🍋

🥥🍋 it’s gluten + gran free • really easy to throw together • if you’ve never made homemade lemon curd, do it 🍋🍋 • it’s SO good
