Whole Food Ingredients
These sweet potato vegan truffles are made with 5 simple ingredients. Here’s all you need:
- sweet potato – you need baked, cooled and mashed sweet potato
- almond flour – I used blanched almond flour, you can use store-bought almond flour or make your own by finely blending blanched almonds.
- peanut butter – you’ll need natural peanut butter with no additives like salt or sugar
- dates – use regular dates. They sweeten the pumpkin truffles naturally and are rich in fiber and minerals.
- vanilla – adds a great hint and enhances the flavor of the balls
- cocoa powder – needed for rolling, any cocoa powder works, adds a nice chocolate flavor

This was delicious! The first time my husband made it, it was too sweet moist to hold its shape but when I made it the sweet potato mixture was perfect and made wonderful balls. I made two batches. One with dates and the other without. I loved both! I also rolled one batch in carob powder and the other in chocolate powder. I liked the carob better.
