Ingredients:

  • 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • 0.5 cup chocolate or vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed meal
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp coconut flour
  • 0.25 tsp sea salt
  • 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cocoa)
  • 1 tsp refined coconut oil
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Stir the 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter. Note: This ensures the fats are evenly distributed for a consistent dough.
  2. Combine the peanut butter with 3 tbsp pure maple syrup and 0.25 tsp sea salt in a medium bowl until smooth and glossy.
  3. Fold in 0.5 cup chocolate or vanilla protein powder and 2 tbsp ground flaxseed meal.
  4. Add 3 tbsp coconut flour one tablespoon at a time until a thick, rollable dough forms.
  5. Scoop the mixture and roll into 13 even balls until the surface is matte and smooth.
  6. Chill the balls in the freezer for 10 minutes. Note: This helps the chocolate coating set instantly upon contact.
  7. Melt 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips with 1 tsp refined coconut oil until velvety and fluid.
  8. Dip each chilled Ball with Dark Chocolate into the melted chocolate using a fork.
  9. Sprinkle with a pinch flaky sea salt for garnish while the chocolate is still wet.
  10. Set the balls on parchment paper for 5 minutes until the shell is firm and crackling.
