Ingredients

Wet Base

  • 170 g Creamy Peanut Butter unsalted
  • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 tsp Almond Extract

Dry Mix-Ins

  • 80 g Whey Protein Isolate vanilla or unflavored
  • 80 g Powdered Monk Fruit/Erythritol Blend
  • 5 tbsp 35 g Fine Almond Flour
  • 2 tbsp Hemp Seeds
  • 1 tbsp Ground Flaxseed
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp Salt

Fold-In

  • 1/4 cup 45 g Sugar-Free Mini Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk the creamy peanut butter, avocado oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract until completely smooth. If the peanut butter is very stiff, microwave the mixture for 20-30 seconds to soften it.
  • Add all the dry mix-ins to the bowl: whey protein, powdered sweetener, almond flour, hemp seeds, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and salt. Stir with a sturdy spatula until a stiff, cohesive dough forms.
  • Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Roll the dough between your palms into 20 uniform balls (about 1 inch each).
  • Place the balls on a parchment-lined plate or container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving.
