Almond Joy Protein Balls
Servings: 28 balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tsp coconut or almond extract
- 1/4 cup milled flaxseed or protein powder
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 1/2 cups oats
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Combine almond butter, honey, extract, flaxseed and 1/4 cup coconut into the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix well.
- Add oats and chocolate chips. Mix to combine.
- Use a mini cookie scoop to form balls. Roll balls in 1/2 cup coconut.
- If stacking, use parchment paper between layers. Store in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
You can use any nut butter in place of almond butter.
For a smoother, more cookie-dough-like texture, use blended oats or Kodiak Cakes flour in place of the oats.
If you're using all-natural almond butter, you may need to add a little more honey or melted coconut oil to help bind the protein balls together better (if the mixture seems dry and crumbly).
