Ingredients used to make this

**I’ve linked some of these ingredients to amazon.com to give you an idea of what they are, but you should also be able to find them in your local grocery store (usually, the natural & organic food section). They are also affiliate links, which means that I earn a commission as an Amazon Associate if you decide to purchase the items. The price will be the same for you, link or no link 🙂

  • 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

Roll the dough into tablespoon sized balls, and refrigerate 15 minutes to help set

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.
