A Galentine’s Day Sweet Treat: Almond Butter & Chocolate Chip Love Bombs {Gluten-Free}
With Valentine’s Day coming up, I’ve been focusing a lot on self-love. To me, it simply means taking time to love and appreciate yourself — mind, body and soul. Self-love comes in many colors: making yourself a nourishing meal, taking a moment for yourself on your yoga mat or prioritizing your mental health.
It’s also about surrounding yourself with the women in your life who are going to lift you up, support you and make you feel like the best version of yourself. And what better way to spread love than through good food?
This Galentine’s Day (an unofficial holiday in honor of women supporting women), gather your favorite gal pals together to show them how much they mean to you. These Almond Butter & Chocolate Chip Love Bombs are the perfect gluten free, low-sugar treat that says “I love you” with every bite.
Almond Butter & Chocolate Chip Love Bombs
*recipe adapted from Eating Bird Food Cookie Dough Bars, makes about 25 balls
Ingredients:
- 4 cups almond flour
- 3/4 c. almond butter
- 1/2 c. coconut oil
- 1/4 c. pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp. raw cacao
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 c. chocolate chips (I used dairy-free)
- pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Combine all ingredients (aside from chocolate chips) in a food processor, and blend until well mixed into a dough-like texture. Roll into balls, and place on a lined cookie sheet. Add a few chocolate chips to each ball. Refrigerate before serving.
