Description
These delicious chocolate dipped oat protein balls are a perfect healthy snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup (108g) oat flour
- ⅓ cup (45g) vanilla plant-based protein powder (I used Truvani)
- ½ cup (140g) cashew butter
- ½ cup (48g) finely shredded carrots
- ⅓ cup (93g) unsweetened applesauce
- 3 Tablespoons (58g) maple syrup
- 3 Tablespoons finely chopped raisins
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 4 oz white chocolate bar (or chocolate chips)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Crushed walnuts for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Finely shred the carrots using a box grater and pat lightly with a paper towel if they seem very wet.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the oat flour, protein powder, nut butter, shredded carrots, applesauce, maple syrup, raisins, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt until a thick dough forms.
- Scoop the mixture into bite-size portions (about 1 Tablespoon each) and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 10-15 minutes, until firm.
- Add the white chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off, then place back on the parchment. Sprinkle with crushed walnuts, if desired.
- Refrigerate (or freeze) until the chocolate coating is set. Store in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Ensure not to overheat the chocolate when melting it.
- These protein balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
