Ingredients
1 ½ cups creamy almond butter (stir well)
¼ cup honey or pure maple syrup
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
1 ½ cups almond flour
1 cup chocolate protein powder (e.g., Clean Simple Eat)
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp sea salt
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and freeze for 5 minutes.
Mix almond butter, honey/maple syrup, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth.
Add almond flour, protein powder, cocoa, and sea salt; stir until a wet sand texture forms.
Test dough by rolling a small portion into a ball. Adjust by adding almond flour (if too sticky) or honey (if too dry).
Scoop 1-2 tbsp (30-40g) and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Chill in the freezer for 15 minutes or fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
Microwave chocolate chips and coconut oil in a bowl until melted. Dip balls into the sauce or drizzle over them before chilling to firm.
Notes
Freeze the baking sheet to help chocolate set faster.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge (5 days) or freezer (8 weeks).
Use fresh almond flour and cocoa for optimal freshness.
