Instructions
 

  • Mix the dry ingredients first: collagen peptides powder, coconut flour and sugar (I used monk fruit sweetener).
  • Next, mix in the peanut butter and 2 Tbsp of almond milk, using your hands to knead and get the dough to combine together. Add additional 1 Tbsp of almond milk if needed.
  • Add the mini M&Ms and oats
  • Roll the batter into tablespoon sized balls, refrigerate for 15 minutes to set

Notes

*I used Vital Protein's Collagen Peptides Powder. I used a standard measuring cup to measure out the protein powder, but for reference: ¼ cup of collagen peptides was equivalent to 2 scoops, or 20 grams
Note on using other Protein Powders in this recipe: I haven't tried using other types of protein powders (i.e. whey, casein, pea, hemp, brown rice, egg protein, etc) in this recipe, but just from experience I know that collagen recipes require less liquid to hold the protein dough together. My suggestion for substituting collagen peptides is to add additional almond milk or water. 1-2 Tablespoons should be enough (just my guess, so I could be wrong!), but DO add half tablespoons of liquid at a time just in case, so you don't overhydrate the dough.
**For the low carb option reflected in the nutrition facts, use a sugar-free substitute such as monk fruit sweetener or erythritol. For stevia powder, be sure to convert the amount of stevia according to package directions
