Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tbsps. (24g, 0.8oz) coconut flour
- 3 tbsps. (30g, 1.06oz) nut protein powder or fat-reduced nut flour
- ¼ tsp. ginger powder
- ¼ tsp. Himalayan salt
- 1 tbsp. + 1 tsp. (8g, 0.3oz) baobab powder
- 4 tbsps. (31g, 1.1oz) carob powder
- 2 tbsps. (12g, 0.4oz) cocoa powder
- 90g (3.2oz) additive-free peanut butter
- 100g (3.5oz) plant milk
- 1 tbsp. (12g, 0.4oz) birch xylitol
- 3 tsps. (9g, 0.3oz) coconut sugar
- 30g (1.06oz) goji berries
- About 5g (0.2oz) cacao nibs
Instructions
- Start off by coarsely chopping the goji berries. Put aside.
- Then, add all the ingredients (except the berries and cocoa nibs) into food processor and process until dough ball forms. It happens quite quickly and sticks together really well.
- Next, add chopped goji berries and pulse for a few times – enough to mix the berries into dough, but not to process them too much.
- Now, to make the balls – first, take a 17-gram (0.6oz) piece of dough and then stick one side of it into cocoa nibs. After that you’re ready to roll it into a ball or any other preferred shape. See the tutorial video further down!
- Finally, refrigerate the protein balls for a couple of hours or overnight and enjoy!
Notes
My peanut butter protein balls are delicious right after you’ve made them, but they turn firmer when cooled down.
