• Banana – mashed, hopefully ripe
• Almond Butter – like this one. You can also use other natural nut butters like pecan butter, walnut butter, cashew butter, mixed nut butter, or even seed butter like sunflower. So many choices!
• Coconut Flour – you can use any brand of coconut flour for this recipe.
• Stevia, to taste – optional. You can also use monk fruit sweetener or regular sugar. You can also use honey or a liquid sweetener, but you may need more coconut flour to make the dough more firm

How to Make

Recipe Variations and Optional Add Ins:

• Add natural flavoring / extracts. You can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract (I didn’t feel like it was essential so I left it out in this recipe), or other flavorings or extracts, such as caramel flavoring, hazelnut extract or almond extract.
• Coat these in melted white chocolate to turn these into truffles
• Love coffee or mocha? Add either a teaspoon of coffee extract or espresso powder to the batter
• Add up to 1 tsp of Cinnamon powder, Cardamom or Chai Tea Powder.

How to Make this Healthier

• Make this even healthier by adding a handful of nuts, seeds and old-fashioned oats to add texture and nutrition. Even better, add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed, hemp seeds, or chia seeds.

How to Store

• Store these protein balls covered in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.

Final Tips

• Coconut flour and protein powders are all very different depending on brands, so if you find that the dough is too soft, add more coconut flour; if the dough is too thick, add a teaspoon or more of water, honey or liquid sweetener of choice.
