Healthy Coconut Shortbread Truffles
Ingredients
Dry:
- 96g (1 cup) Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (blended to a flour)
- 96g (½ cup) Granulated Erythritol (or dry sweetener of choice)
- 60g (1 cup) Reduced Fat Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- 40g (¼ cup) Brown Rice Flour (or more Oat Flour)
- 32g (1 scoop) Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
Wet:
- 1 15oz can Garbanzo Beans (drained and rinsed well; 1½ cups beans)
- 6 tbs Light Coconut Milk (canned)
- ¾ tsp Natural Butter Flavor
- ¼ tsp Coconut Extract
- ¼ tsp Vanilla Paste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- In a blender, puree the wet ingredients. Pour over the dry ingredients and fold to combine. Press the mixture down in the bowl so the surface is flat, cover and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day, scoop the mixture (it should be fairly firm) into equal size chunks and roll into balls. Roll in more coconut or leave plain. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator covered (serve chilled for best texture!)
Recipe Notes
Only 110 calories and 3.5g fat for 2 decadent truffles. Plus, 6g protein and 3g fiber. BOOM.
This reminds me of the day I walked into Godiva (I think I used to be their #1 customer) and asked the employee for the nutritional facts of my favorite chocolate truffle. One small truffle had 180 calories and 15g of fat. Yeah.
These Healthy Coconut Shortbread Truffles are a great replacement, and they don’t leave you feeling deprived one bit.
Enjoy!

Indulge − no strings attached!
hey, great photos! I find glass bowls and things really tricky and awkwardly reflective, but these look really good 🙂
Thanks Jo! I agree, glassware is definitely difficult to photograph. I think this is the only instance where I didn’t see light reflections, probably due to the cloudy weather that day… finally, something good came out of bad weather!
Rolled oats are NOT Gluten free !
so gluten free should be removed from this receipe
“Certified Gluten Free” Rolled Oats are gluten free because they are harvested away from wheat fields. I provided a link to the certified gluten free oats in the recipe 🙂
