Ingredients

1 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce
¼ cup vanilla protein powder*
2 Tbsp coconut flour
1 Tbsp granulated sugar of choice* optional
1 Tbsp confetti sprinkles
1-2 Tbsp unsweetened almond milk , if needed

Instructions

Mix applesauce, protein powder, coconut flour, sugar, and confetti sprinkles in a bowl.
Add the almond milk at the very end, half tablespoon at a time (if needed) to adjust the dough to desired thickness. You can also add more coconut flour if the dough is too soft.
Roll the dough into tablespoon sized balls, and refrigerate 15 minutes to help set

Notes

*I used a plant-based protein powder. Whey protein powder also works, but the result was gummier.

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.
