White Chocolate Protein Snowballs
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup KidzProtein Vanilla Protein Powder
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- ¼ cup almond butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- Desiccated coconut (for coating)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Base: In a food processor, blend the rolled oats until they form a fine powder-like consistency.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground oats, vanilla protein powder, and almond flour.
3. Create the Dough: Add the honey (or maple syrup), almond butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until it forms a dough-like consistency. If the mixture feels too dry, add a bit more almond butter or honey for moisture.
4. Form Snowballs: Take small portions of the dough and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and set them in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to firm up.
5. Melt White Chocolate: While the snowballs chill, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth.
6. Coat the Snowballs: Dip each chilled snowball into the melted white chocolate until fully coated, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, roll them in desiccated coconut to create the snowy look.
7. Chill and Serve: Place the coated snowballs back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another 20-30 minutes until the white chocolate sets.
