→ Coating
09 -
1 cup milk chocolate chips
10 -
1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour and vanilla protein powder.
02 -
In a separate bowl, blend cashew butter, 2 tablespoons milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
03 -
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir to form a dough. If the mixture is too dry, incorporate the remaining tablespoon of milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the dough is slightly sticky but holds its shape.
04 -
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
05 -
Scoop and roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Arrange them on a plate lined with parchment paper.
06 -
Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to set.
07 -
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine milk chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
08 -
Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate to fully coat. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before transferring to the lined plate.
09 -
While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips on top. Refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes, or until chocolate is firm.
10 -
Serve the protein balls chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For a nut-free version, sunflower seed butter and oat flour can be substituted. Ensure dough is properly chilled before dipping for a smooth chocolate coating.
