Print Recipe

These almond butter protein balls are a quick, simple, and wholesome snack featuring a chewy texture and a glossy dark chocolate drizzle for a perfect balance of indulgence and nutrition.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (250g) almond butter, smooth or chunky
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (old-fashioned preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 1 ounce (28g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), finely chopped or chips
  • Optional: pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients: almond butter, rolled oats, honey, and dark chocolate.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine almond butter, oats, and honey. Stir until a thick, sticky dough forms. Adjust texture by adding water or more oats if needed.
  3. Portion out about 1 tablespoon (15g) of dough and roll into smooth balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Expect 12-15 balls.
  4. Chill the balls in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
  5. Melt the dark chocolate in short bursts in the microwave or using a double boiler until smooth.
  6. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the chilled protein balls in thin zigzags.
  7. Return the tray to the fridge for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
  8. Store the protein balls in an airtight container. Keep chilled or at room temperature for up to one week.

Notes

Chill the balls thoroughly before drizzling chocolate to maintain shape and texture. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking. For vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and use dairy-free chocolate. Lightly wet hands when rolling to prevent sticking. Store in airtight container in fridge up to one week or freeze up to two months.
