Cookie Dough Protein Balls
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup almond butter
1/2 cup vanilla whey protein powder about 2 scoops—use plant-based protein powder to make dairy free
⅓ cup coconut flour or oat flour* plus 1-2 tablespoons additional as needed
1 ½ tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
2-4 tablespoons unsweetened vanilla almond milk or milk of choice or water
2 tablespoons dark chocolate
DIRECTIONS:
To a large bowl, add the almond butter, protein powder, 1/3 cup coconut flour, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons almond milk. Stir until the mixture forms a dough that is soft enough to roll into balls, but not overly sticky. Add additional coconut flour or almond milk as needed to get the right consistency. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Roll into 12 balls. Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator for later.
