Ingredients
Makes 14 mini protein balls
-
¾ cup oat flour
-
½ cup Simply Chocolate Whey Protein
-
⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
-
¼ cup almond milk (plus more if needed)
-
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt
-
4 tbsp shredded coconut, for coating
How to Make
01 / Combine
In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, chocolate whey protein, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
02 / Mix
Add the peanut butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until a soft, dough-like mixture forms.
Start with ¼ cup almond milk, adding a little more if needed to bring everything together.
03 / Rest
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the oat flour to absorb the liquid. This helps create the perfect consistency for rolling.
04 / Roll
Using your hands, divide the mixture into 14 small balls. Roll each one in shredded coconut until lightly coated.
05 / Enjoy
Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate until chilled and slightly firmer.
A little something extra.
Make a batch at the beginning of the week and keep them in the fridge for an easy, chocolatey snack whenever you need one.
Made with Simply Chocolate Whey Protein.
