Ingredients

  • 100 grams (1 cup) oat flour replace with almond flour or rolled oats
  • 30 grams (1 scoop) protein powder see notes*
  • 25 grams (¼ cup) cocoa powder
  • 120 grams (½ cup) nut butter peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, tahini
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup replace with honey, see notes*

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients - oat flour, protein powder, cocoa powder and optionally chocolate chips. Add the nut butter and maple syrup, then stir well until you get a soft dough, first with a fork and then using your hands. If, after mixing, the dough is still too dry, add some more nut butter, or adjust with more oat flour if it is too sticky. This depends on the type of protein powder that you are using.
  2. Shape some protein balls, then place in an airtight food container or in a sealable bowl.
  3. Store in the fridge for a maximum of five days.

Notes

  • This recipe uses chocolate soy protein powder. You can use any protein powder you like: vegan, whey, casein or a mix of whey and casein. However, based on the protein powder choice you may need to adjust the dough with more nut butter (vegan protein and casein) or more oat flour (whey protein powder).
  • Use chocolate flavored, vanilla flavored or unflavored protein powder.
  • If using unflavored protein powder, fix the taste with more maple syrup or honey to your likings.
