First, you will need to preheat the oven to 350 degrees and gather your ingredients.

1. In a large bowl mix the oat flour (1 cup) and almond flour (1/2 cup). Add the baking soda (1 tsp).  
2. In a smaller bowl, combine the almond butter (1/4 cup) and maple syrup (1/3 cup). Mix these together thoroughly, use a hand mixer if you need to. Then add almond milk (1/4 cup) to the mixture. 
3. Stir in the vanilla stevia (1 tsp) and vanilla extract (1/4 tp) to this bowl. 
4. Add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients. You can use store-bought or homemade almond milk. 
5. Stir until combined. 
6. Prep a muffin pan with silicone molds or paper muffin cups and portion the batter into eight muffin cups.  
7. Bake your cake balls recipe for 10 minutes, rotate the muffins and then bake for an additional thirteen minutes. 
8. Remove and let cool in the tin for thirty minutes. 
9. This is where it may seem tricky. But, once your cake muffins have cooled, you will want to crumble them into a large bowl with your hands.  
10. Next, in a smaller bowl, whisk together the coconut milk (2 Tbsp) and stevia packet (1/2 a packet). 
11. Add the coconut milk and stevia mixture to the cake crumble and mix until moist. 
12. Using your hands, roll the dough into balls and place on a tray lined with parchment paper. 
13. Top each ball with a few mini dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs.
14. Place the balls into the freezer for sixty minutes to set. When ready to eat, remove the cake balls from the freezer and let thaw 10-20 minutes. 

Yields approximately 12 balls.
