Perfect for quick snacks or a healthy dessert, these protein balls deliver a tasty boost filled with nutritious ingredients. Ideal for anyone looking for simple, homemade recipes, they are both satisfying and delicious!

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup (108g) oat flour
  • ⅓ cup (45g) vanilla plant-based protein powder
  • ½ cup (140g) cashew butter
  • ½ cup (48g) finely shredded carrots
  • ⅓ cup (93g) unsweetened applesauce
  • 3 Tablespoons (58g) maple syrup
  • 3 Tablespoons finely chopped raisins
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 4 oz white chocolate bar (or chocolate chips)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Crushed walnuts for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Finely shred the carrots using a box grater and pat lightly with a paper towel if they seem very wet.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the oat flour, protein powder, cashew butter, shredded carrots, applesauce, maple syrup, raisins, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until a thick dough forms.
  3. Scoop the mixture into bite-size portions (about 1 Tablespoon each) and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 10-15 minutes, until firm.
  4. Add the white chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  5. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off, then place back on the parchment. Sprinkle with crushed walnuts, if desired.
  6. Refrigerate (or freeze) until the chocolate coating is set. Store in the fridge until ready to enjoy.

Notes

If the carrot mixture is too wet, pat it dry with a paper towel before mixing.
For extra crunch, sprinkle more crushed walnuts on top after coating with chocolate.
These protein balls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
