👩🍳 Instructions
-
1
In a large bowl, combine chocolate protein powder, almond flour, cocoa powder, powdered sweetener, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.
-
2
Add the nut butter and vanilla extract. Start with 2 tablespoons of almond milk. Mix with a sturdy spoon or your hands until a crumbly dough forms.
-
3
Gradually add more almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture comes together into a firm, pliable dough. It should be easy to roll but not sticky.
-
4
Take small portions (about 1 inch) of dough and roll them into smooth balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
-
5
Freeze the protein balls for 10-15 minutes to firm them up.
-
6
While the balls chill, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until smooth and fully melted.
-
7
Remove the chilled protein balls from the freezer. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Return to the prepared baking sheet.
-
8
Immediately sprinkle white sprinkles over each chocolate-coated ball before the chocolate sets.
-
9
Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is completely firm. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
💡 Notes
Adjust sweetener to taste. For a softer texture, use a more liquidy nut butter. If the chocolate coating is too thick, add another 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil. These can be frozen for up to one month.
