    Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Pistachio Truffles | The Healthy Family and Home

    These Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Chip and Pistachio Brownie Truffles are an easy no-bake treat that's ready in about 10 minutes.

    I had originally planned to share these as a St. Valentine's Day treat but ended up posting this recipe instead.

    These easy-to-make truffles are a slight variation of my Pistachio Sesame Seed Balls recipe which is a reader favorite on my website with over 20,000 pins!

    In place of the sesame seeds, I added chocolate chips and raw cacao powder to give them a deep chocolate brownie taste and texture, then added chopped pistachios.

    They're a perfect snack to go with a cup of warm herbal tea and are raw, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, no-bake, paleo-friendly and contain no refined sugar.

        Hi there Kathryn! #embarrassing, I completely left out the coconut oil in the recipe! It should read "1 tablespoon organic coconut oil" and I've updated the recipe to add it in.

        Thank you ~so~ much for letting me know and I hope you enjoy the recipe 🙂
