Ingredients
- 1¼ cups almond flour (125g)
- ½ cup pea protein powder (55g)
- ⅓ cup almond butter (80g)
- 3 tbsp cacao powder
- 6 tbsp almond milk
- ⅔ cup dark chocolate (100g)
- Optional: 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or replace with more almond milk
Instructions
- Add the almond flour, protein powder, almond butter, cacao powder and milk to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine. If you are adding maple syrup add that too or add another 1-2 tbsp of milk instead.
- Once the mixture is fully combined and quite soft and sticky, roll into balls. If your mixture seems dry, add a little more milk before rolling into balls.
- Refrigerate the balls whilst you melt the chocolate.
- Add the chocolate to a bowl and melt over a pan of hot water. Dip each ball in the chocolate to cover. Add some optional freeze-dried raspberries on top for decoration. Refrigerate again.
Notes
- You can add in maple syrup if you prefer them sweeter. If not, add more almond milk.
- If you want to up the protein you can add more protein powder and reduce the almond flour.
- Store in the fridge. They will last for about a week.
- They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
- The freeze-dried raspberries on top are optional!
