Keto Protein Balls With Oats
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup rolled oats (use just a small amount to keep it low-carb)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter or almond butter (no sugar added)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 2 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseeds
- 2 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
- 1–2 tbsp keto-friendly sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit, to taste)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1–2 tbsp coconut oil (melted), if needed for consistency
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, rolled oats, shredded coconut, protein powder, chia seeds (or flaxseeds), and salt.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: Add the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and keto-friendly sweetener. Mix until the ingredients are well combined. If the mixture seems too dry, add melted coconut oil a little at a time until it reaches a rollable consistency.
- Fold in the Chocolate Chips: If desired, fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Form into Balls: Use your hands or a small cookie scoop to form the mixture into small, bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
- Chill: Place the balls on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 20–30 minutes to firm up.
- Serve & Store: Enjoy them right away or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
