Ingredients
For the Chocolate Balls
- 2 Cups Medjool Date pitted
- ¼ Cup Oat Flour
- ¼ Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- ¼ Cup Chocolate Protein Powder
- 3 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
- ¼ Cup Almond Butter
- 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- ½ Teaspoon Sea Salt
For the Chocolate Coating
- ¾ Cup Dairy-free Chocolate Chips
- ½ Teaspoon Coconut Oil
- Sprinkles optional
Instructions
- To make these protein brownie balls, start by adding all of the ingredients to a food processor: the medjool dates, oat flour, cocoa powder, protein powder, maple syrup, almond butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
- Process the ingredients together until a sticky dough forms. If the mixture feels too dry, add a splash of water or an extra spoonful of almond butter until it comes together.
- Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll it between your hands to form 16 even-sized balls. Place each ball onto the baking sheet and repeat until all of the dough has been used.
- Next, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated, then place it back onto the baking sheet. Add sprinkles on top if desired.
- Transfer the tray to the freezer for 5–10 minutes, until the chocolate coating is set. Serve and enjoy!
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
