Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter, stirred smooth
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk, as needed

Method
 

  1. Bring ½ cup natural peanut butter or almond butter to room temperature for easier mixing.
  2. Combine nut butter, ½ cup vanilla protein powder, 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed, 2 tablespoons erythritol, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a large bowl.
  3. Mix with a spoon or hands until combined and mixture holds together when pressed.
  4. Fold in ¼ cup sugar-free chocolate chips.
  5. If crumbly, add almond milk 1 teaspoon at a time, up to 2 tablespoons, until rollable. Let stand 5 minutes so flax hydrates before adding more.
  6. Divide into 14 balls, approximately 1 1/4 inches each.
  7. Place on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet.
  8. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to firm.
  9. Refrigerate airtight for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
  10. Enjoy straight from fridge as a quick snack or dessert.
