Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats or quick oats
- 3 tablespoons chocolate protein powder
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup sliced chopped almonds
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together rolled oats, chopped almonds, protein powder, and shredded coconut. Stir until all dry ingredients are evenly combined.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in the almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract until the mixture is fully combined. If the mixture is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to loosen it. If too dry, add a bit more honey to improve consistency.
- Chill mixture: Refrigerate the mixture for 20–30 minutes. This chilling step helps the Almond Joy Protein Balls hold their shape and makes the mixture easier to roll.
- Form the balls: Use a cookie scoop, small ice cream scoop, or spoon to portion the dough, then roll each portion into approximately 1-inch balls. If no scoop is available, simply portion using a spoon and roll with your hands.
- Chill for storage: Refrigerate the formed balls for up to one week, or store them in the freezer for up to 3 months to maintain freshness and texture.
Notes
- If the mixture is too sticky to handle, chilling it longer can help.
- Use natural almond butter without added sugar or oils for a healthier option.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan alternative.
- Customize by adding mini chocolate chips or dried fruit if desired.
- These protein balls are perfect for a quick snack, pre/post workout fuel, or a healthy dessert bite.
