Protein Balls
Description
This Protein Balls recipe uses a base of almond flour, vanilla protein powder, oat flour, honey, and water mixed to form a pliable dough. The dough can be personalized by folding in sprinkles (for cake batter flavor), mini chocolate chips, cinnamon and raisins, or shredded coconut and lemon zest, enabling a range of sweet profiles.
The mixture is shaped into one-tablespoon balls, formed by oiled hands or scoops to prevent sticking. After shaping approximately 24 balls, chilling in the refrigerator firms them for easy eating and handling. The result is a dense, lightly sweet snack that is convenient for on-the-go needs.
Protein balls store well in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and freeze effectively for three months. Freezing is best done by first solidifying the balls individually on a baking sheet before transferring them to a container, allowing for convenient long-term storage.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup almond flour blanched
- ½ cup protein powder vanilla
- ½ cup oat flour
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ water
Cake Batter
- ¼ cup Sprinkles
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Chocolate Chip
- ⅓ mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Raisin
- ¼ raisins chopped
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Lemon Coconut
- ¼ cup coconut shredded
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients together a flour into a bowl. Mix to distribute everything.
- Fold the add-ins you’re using and stir until everything is combined.
- Oil your hands and any utensils. Scoop heaping tablespoon size amounts of the dough and roll between your palms to form a ball. Alternatively, you can use an oiled one tablespoon cookie scoop or melon baller to form them. Makes about 24.
- Once formed, chill in the fridge for 20 minutes or until firm.
Notes
- Store protein balls in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness.
- Freeze on a baking sheet first to prevent sticking, then transfer to a freezer-safe container; keep frozen for up to 3 months.
- Allow frozen balls to thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes before eating.
