Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup creamy unsweetened almond butter
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and vanilla protein powder. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt together the almond butter, honey, and coconut oil. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
Pour the wet mixture over the almond flour and protein powder mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and a dough begins to form.
Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Place the balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Once all the balls are formed, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely melted and smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the clusters or dip each cluster halfway into the chocolate.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
Store the clusters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
