If you love mint and chocolate together, then this Mint Chocolate Chip Protein Balls Recipe will become your new favorite snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp almond butter
- 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 2 –4 tbsp milk as needed
- A few drops natural green food color optional
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Mix dry ingredients
- Add oat flour, protein powder, chocolate chips, and salt into a bowl. Stir until everything looks even and well combined inside.
Add almond butter
- Spoon almond butter into the dry mix. Stir carefully until small soft lumps start forming across the mixture evenly.
Add sweetener and mint
- Pour honey and peppermint extract inside the bowl. Mix slowly until the dough begins to smell fresh and minty.
Add food color
- Add one or two drops of green color. Mix until the dough turns soft mint green with a smooth texture.
Add milk as needed
- Add milk one spoon at a time. Mix until dough becomes soft enough to roll into smooth round balls easily.
Shape the balls
- Take small portions of dough and roll into balls. Place each ball gently on parchment paper to avoid sticking during chilling.
Chill the balls
- Put the tray in the fridge for 20 minutes. Let the balls firm up so they taste perfect and hold their shape.
Notes
- Use peppermint extract, not mint extract, for cleaner flavor.
- Add more chocolate chips for extra crunch.
- If dough is sticky, add extra oat flour.
- If dough is dry, add more milk.
- Store in a sealed box for five days in the fridge.
