Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural unsweetened peanut butter
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup keto-friendly sweetener (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
- 0.5 cup vanilla whey protein powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the natural unsweetened peanut butter and coconut oil. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the almond flour, keto-friendly sweetener, vanilla whey protein powder, and vanilla extract to the bowl.
Stir everything together using a spatula until a dough forms. It should be thick and slightly sticky.
Add in the salt, and if using, fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips until everything is evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them between your hands to form balls. The mixture should make about 20 balls.
Place the protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
