Servings: 6 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup blanched almond flour packed
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder packed
- ½ cup oat flour packed
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ water
Cake Batter
- ¼ cup sprinkles
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Chip
- ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Lemon Coconut
- ¼ cup shredded coconut
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
Instructions
- Add the almond flour, protein powder, oat flour, honey, and water to a large bowl. Use a spatula to combine. The mixture should feel doughy like cookie dough balls, not too sticky and not too dry. Because almond flours and protein powders can differ, feel free to add more water or almond flour to adjust the consistency as needed.
- Fold the add-ins you're using and stir until everything is combined.
- Add a drop of oil to the palm of your hand and spread it across both hands. Using a medium 1.5 tablespoon spring-loaded cookie scoop, scoop a rounded ball of the batter and roll between your palms to form a ball. Place it on a plate or in a storage container. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Once formed, chill in the fridge for 20 minutes or until firm.
Notes
Note: The nutrition facts are only for the base protein ball recipe and do not include any add-ins.
My Top Tip: I like to toast my almond and oat flour at 350°F for 5–7 minutes before mixing, because consuming uncooked grains (even oat flour) can be hard on the GI tract for some people.
Storage: Store the protein balls in an airtight container. They'll last in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Freezing: Freeze the protein balls solid on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They'll keep well in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes before eating.
