Scale
Filling
- 1/2 cup mashed banana (125g)
- 1/4 cup sunflower seed butter
- 1/2 cup pea protein powder (52g)*
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1-2 Tbsp water
Coating
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (about 3 oz)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
- For the Filling: Combine all filling ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Start with just one tablespoon of water and add more as needed. The filling should be fairly easy to mix and have a sticky playdough-like texture.
- Roll the filling into balls about 1 tablespoon in size. You should get 12-13 protein balls. Place the rolled balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
- Put the balls in the freezer while you melt the chocolate for the coating.
- For the Coating: Place the dark chocolate and coconut oil in a small saucepan. Melt on the stovetop over low heat, stirring frequently.
- Once fully melted, turn off the heat and retrieve the fillings from the freezer.
- Dip the fillings, one at a time, into the melted chocolate. Place them back on the lined baking sheet or plate.
- Drizzle any remaining chocolate over the balls. Optional: top with additional cinnamon.
- Place the protein balls in the fridge or freezer for chocolate to fully set.
- Store in fridge or freezer.
