Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cacao powder
- 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder (paleo friendly)
- 0.5 cup almond butter (unsweetened and unsalted)
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips (paleo friendly)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, unsweetened cacao powder, vanilla protein powder, and sea salt.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Stir until everything is evenly mixed, and a firm dough forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips until they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop out about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball with your hands. Repeat until all dough is used.
Place the bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or in the freezer for up to two months.
