  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 14 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe banana (120g), mashed
  • ¾ cup (112g) oat flour
  • ½ cup almond butter
  • â…“ cup (45g) vanilla plant-based protein powder
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana in a bowl until smooth.
  2. Combine oat flour, almond butter, protein powder, mini chocolate chips, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt with the banana. Mix until a thick dough forms.
  3. Shape the dough into even-sized balls using your hands or a small cookie scoop, yielding about 14 balls.
  4. Freeze the balls for approximately 10-15 minutes until they are firm.
  5. Melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, checking every 30 seconds and stirring until smooth (about 60-90 seconds).
  6. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off, and place them back on a parchment-lined surface. Optionally, drizzle chocolate on top instead of dipping.
  7. Sprinkle each coated ball with flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets, if desired.
  8. Chill the finished balls in the fridge or freezer for another 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.

For a nut-free option, use sunflower seed butter instead of almond butter.
Feel free to add nuts or seeds for extra crunch.
