A Protein Snack That Tastes Like Cookie Dough? Sign Me Up!

/in /by

Hello everyone and happy Sunday!

Today I have a recipe that comes to us courtesy of Jen! They’re frozen peanut butter balls that taste just like peanut butter cookie dough, but are super healthy! What?! They sound delicious and so easy to make.

Peanut Butter Protein Balls

1.5 cups rolled oats

2 tbsp coconut oil

2 tbsp peanut butter (or cashew, almond, etc)

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup almond flour (mostly sold as almond meal)

1/4 tsp sea salt

2 tbsp mini chocolate chips

How To:

Blend oats until a fine flour forms (Jen uses a food processor)

Mix coconut oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla together with a mixer until smooth. 

Add oats, almond flour, and sea salt and beat again. 

Fold in the chocolate chips. 

Form into small balls, and place on a cookie sheet in the freezer. Once they are frozen, Jen keeps hers in a giant mason jar in her freezer. “They are SOOOOO GOOD!”

If you make them, let us know! Stay healthy!

Catch you next time!
