Eggnog Dough Balls (Raw, Dairy Free, Plant-Based)

Eggnog Dough Balls (Raw, Dairy Free, Plant-Based)

Eggnog Dough Balls are soft, creamy and the perfect healthy treat for the holiday season! These delicious bites are free of dairy, gluten, grains + raw, plant-based & paleo!

According to some of my taste testers, these yummy bites taste like eggnog flavoured Timbits! So, you’re in luck because Timbits have never been this healthy — and packed with quality ingredients that will leave your body feeling good and satisfied.

These no-bake balls are real easy to whip up in one bowl or you can use a food processor to make things even easier. After preparing the batter, freeze it for roughly 15-minutes (this helps to make the batter less sticky) and then roll into bite-sized balls. Refrigerate or freeze these these soft, creamy & raw dough balls–and enjoy when you’re craving an eggnog flavoured treat!

Pair these Eggnog Dough Balls with my Dairy Free Eggnog Latte. It’s a match made in eggnog heaven!

Prep Time: 25 minutes
Freeze Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Course: Snack/Treat
Cuisine: Dairy Free, Paleo, Plant-Based
Servings: 20 balls

Ingredients
 

  • 1 3/4 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut palm sugar
  • 3/4 tsp ceylon cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1/4 cup raw coconut oil, melted & cooled
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup dairy free eggnog, I used So Delicious Coconut Holiday Nog
  • 1 tbsp coconut palm sugar, for coating

Instructions
 

  • Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
  • Pour coconut oil and maple syrup into the dry mixture and mix well.
  • Add the eggnog until a thick batter is formed. If the batter is too runny, add a teaspoon more coconut flour at a time until batter thickens.
  • Place batter in freezer for roughly 15-minutes to firm up. This will make the batter less sticky so you can form balls easily.
  • Scoop a teaspoon of dough and form into a small ball. You can roll the balls in the extra coconut palm sugar to coat then place in large shallow tupperware, dish or tray.
  • Store balls in the fridge for up to 2-weeks.

Notes

Steps 1-3 can be done using a food processor, if you have one.

Pumpkin Chili (Low-Carb, Paleo)

Pumpkin Chili (Low-Carb, Paleo)

Pumpkin Chili is a hearty, paleo friendly and low-carb chili with a unique combination of pumpkin, zucchini, warming spices and cocoa. Your palate will be pleasantly surprised at how well these flavours come together.

You have the option of using either beef or turkey in this recipe–both work really well. Also, feel free to swap out canned pumpkin for roasted pumpkin OR if you don’t have any pumpkin on hand, you can use butternut squash, acorn squash or another similar squash.

So, if you’re a fan of chili and looking for a new recipe to test out on a cold fall or winter day, I highly recommend giving this non-traditional chili a try!

Would love to hear your thoughts on this recipe if you test it out. Just leave a comment below 🙂
