Almond Joy Protein Balls
Description
The Almond Joy Protein Balls start with rolled oats mixed thoroughly with natural almond butter and honey to bind the ingredients. Chocolate protein powder gives them a recognizable Almond Joy-inspired flavor while boosting protein content. Unsweetened shredded coconut adds texture and a subtle coconut note without extra sweetness. The mixture is hand-kneaded into a workable dough, then portioned into small balls using a cookie scoop. These balls hold their shape well and can be refrigerated or frozen. They do not require baking, making preparation simple and quick. The combination of nut butter, oats, and protein powder results in a chewy and satisfying texture with a mild sweetness from honey.
These protein balls serve as portable snacks or light energy treats, suitable for breakfast accompaniment, midday snacking, or workout refueling. Their shelf stability when chilled allows for easy storage and accessibility.
Variations may include substituting other nut or seed butters, such as cashew or peanut butter, and switching honey for maple syrup as a vegan alternative. Protein powder flavors can be adjusted to preference without compromising the basic structure.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats old fashioned
- 1 cup almond butter natural
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 coops chocolate protein powder 50-60 grams
- 1-2 Tablespoons coconut unsweetened, shredded
Instructions
- Place oats, almond butter, honey, protein powder and shredded coconut in a large bowl and stir to combine.
- Getting the mixture to combine takes a little arm muscle and it may seem too thick at first, but it will come together as you keep mixing. I used my hands to knead the dough near the end and that seems to help.
- Once combined, use a small cookie scoop to scoop and form the dough into balls.
- Store in a covered container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Maple syrup can substitute for honey to suit different dietary preferences.
- Almond butter may be replaced with cashew, peanut, tahini, or sunflower seed butter depending on taste or allergies.
- Choose your preferred chocolate protein powder brand and flavor to personalize the almond joy taste.
