Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

1.25 cups almond flour (or oat flour)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup chocolate protein powder (protein of choice)
1/4 teaspoon instant coffee

Wet Ingredients

3/4 cup almond butter (or cashew butter)
1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey or agave)
1/4 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)

Add-ins

1/4 cup chocolate chunks (Hu chocolate bar chopped or chocolate chips)

Instructions

Prepare the base mixture: Line a tray with parchment paper to prevent the balls from sticking later. In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, instant coffee, almond butter, maple syrup, and almond milk. Use a hand mixer or mix vigorously by hand until you achieve a thick, play dough-like consistency.
Incorporate chocolate chunks and shape: Fold in the chopped chocolate chunks evenly throughout the mixture. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form 16 to 20 evenly sized balls measuring about 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter. Place the formed balls on the prepared tray.
Set the protein balls: Freeze the balls on the tray for 15 minutes to allow them to firm up. Once set, transfer the balls to an airtight container.
Storage: Store the protein balls in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for longer storage. Enjoy as a quick snack or protein-packed dessert anytime.

Notes

Almond flour can be substituted with oat flour if you prefer a different texture.
Maple syrup can be swapped with honey or agave for sweetness adjustments.
Use almond butter or cashew butter depending on your taste preference or dietary restrictions.
Instant coffee enhances the chocolate flavor but can be omitted if desired.
These protein balls do not require baking or a blender, making them a quick and easy no-cook snack option.
Adjust the size of the balls according to your desired serving size; the recipe yields approximately 8 to 10 servings (2 balls each).
Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent drying out.
