Sweet Potato Protein Balls
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp vanilla protein powder*
- 2 Tbsp coconut flour
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp cooked sweet potato , mashed
- ½ tsp cinnamon optional
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together. Add more coconut flour if the dough is too soft, add a teaspoon or more of water, or almond milk if the dough is too thick***
- Roll the batter into tablespoon sized balls, refrigerate for 15 minutes to set**
Notes
*I used a plant-based protein powder. Whey protein powder also works, but the result will be gummier.
**You can use low fat or vegan (almond milk) cream cheese
***I find that it's best to use my hands to mix the dough because it takes some kneading and pressing to get the dough to come together.
