Ingredients

2 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce
¼ cup vanilla protein powder*
2-3 Tbsp coconut flour
3 Tbsp ground black sesame seeds
1 Tbsp granulated sugar of choice**
2 Tbsp melted white chocolate chips or candy melts

Instructions

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Add more coconut flour if the dough is too soft, add a teaspoon or more of water or milk of choice if the dough is too thick*
Roll the dough into tablespoon sized balls, and refrigerate 15 minutes to help set
Melt white chocolate chips by microwaving them in 15 second blasts. Drizzle onto the protein balls. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top

Notes

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

**I like using light-colored sweeteners such as honey-powder in this recipe because it doesn’t affect the color of the final product. Coconut, date, or raw/turbinado sugar are less processed, more natural granulated sugars, but it could make the recipe slightly darker. For the low carb option reflected in the nutrition facts, use a sugar-free substitute such as monk fruit sweetener or stevia powder (but be sure to convert the amount of stevia according to package directions)
