Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Whey protein powder (chocolate flavor)
- 0.5 cup Almond butter
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Stevia or erythritol (granulated)
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped dark chocolate (70% cacao or more)
- 0.25 cup Crushed nuts or seeds (optional for coating)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and chocolate whey protein powder. Stir well to ensure there are no lumps.
Add almond butter, coconut oil, vanilla extract, stevia or erythritol, and sea salt to the dry mixture. Using a spatula or your hands, mix until a thick, dough-like consistency is achieved.
Fold in the chopped dark chocolate pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Using a tablespoon-sized scoop, portion out the mixture and roll into balls between your palms.
Optionally, roll each ball in crushed nuts or seeds for a crunchy coating.
Arrange the chocolate balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
Once firm, transfer the chocolate balls to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Enjoy these delicious, high-protein, low-carb chocolate balls as a post-workout snack or any time you need a healthy sweet treat!
