Vegan Chocolate Truffles- 3 Easy Recipes

The three vegan chocolate truffle recipes that follow are easy to make, delicious, and healthier than many such recipes for trifles. These recipes do no contain any dairy or processed sugar. If you are carefully following a gluten-free diet, you can substitute gluten-free oat flour. I think there is something yummy here for everyone! Cheers!

Red Bean Truffles

The picture above is from marta_kozlowska84on Instagram. Her recipe is in Polish but I am guessing it is very similar to Candace Feldman's in her lovely book "Lean Into Plants: 100+ Simple & Delicious Primarily Plant-Based Recipes Designed for Weight Loss and Fueling Your Body." This is one of many very quick, delicious and healthy recipes designed to "nourish your whole self: body, mind and spirit".

1/2 cup melted chocolate chips

1/4 cup of smooth almond butter

Form into about 10, 1" balls. Roll in various toppings and refrigerate about an hour! High energy and high protein-- perfect for after a work-out or a special little soiree.

Pan-Fry Carrots (Roast Carrot Sticks)

Pan-roasted carrots (with some potato fries mixed in) Our younger son--at one time in the life he styled as "Nomad Farmer"-- lived and grew organic vegetables, fruit and berries on an off-grid community farm in the interior of BC. We stopped in to see him the one time and came away with a load of over-wintered carrots, still as carrot-y flavoured and plump as on the day they were dug from the ground, thanks to the hill-side root crop storage cellar. Our granddaughters opted for fish and chips today for lunch, and some of the 'chips' were carrot chips. They are also a great base for a roast carrot soup. When you roast veggies, you get extra delicious flavour.
