- ¼ tsp Cardamom ground
- 5 strands Saffron crushed
- 1 pinch Sea Salt
- 1 tbsp Shredded Coconut unsweetened

Notes
- If the almond butter you have at hand is runny, refrigerate the truffles for sometime before consuming them.

- You can customize them with nuts and seeds of your choice. You can even add gluten-free oats.
