Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp vanilla protein powder (packed)
- 1 Tbsp coconut flour
Wet Ingredients
- 1.5 Tbsp almond butter
- 2 Tbsp prepared apple pie filling / topping
Add-ins
- 1.5 Tbsp walnuts (roughly chopped)
- Melted white chocolate, for drizzling
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the vanilla protein powder, coconut flour, almond butter, roughly chopped walnuts, and the prepared apple pie filling. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. If the dough feels too soft, add a little more coconut flour to thicken it. If it feels too dense or dry, incorporate a teaspoon or more of water or milk of your choice to loosen the mixture.
- Form Balls: Scoop out the mixture and roll into tablespoon-sized balls using your hands. Ensure they are compact and evenly sized for consistent texture and setting.
- Refrigerate: Place the rolled balls onto a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. This helps them firm up and become easier to handle.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Once set, melt white chocolate gently using a microwave or double boiler. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the chilled protein balls to add a touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
Notes
- Use vanilla protein powder for the best flavor match; other flavors might alter the taste significantly.
- The apple pie filling should be prepared or store-bought, but avoid ones with excessive syrup to prevent sogginess.
- Adjust the consistency of the dough with coconut flour or liquid as needed to ensure it’s pliable but not sticky.
- These protein balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.
- For a nut-free version, consider substituting almond butter and walnuts with seed butter and seeds (like sunflower).
