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
- Finely shred the carrots and pat lightly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- In a medium bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, cashew butter, shredded carrots, applesauce, maple syrup, raisins, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and sea salt. Mix until a thick dough forms.
- Scoop the mixture into bite-sized portions, about 1 tablespoon each, and roll into balls. Arrange on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 10-15 minutes until firm.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then place back on the parchment paper. Optionally, sprinkle with crushed walnuts.
- Refrigerate or freeze until the chocolate coating sets. Store in the fridge until you're ready to enjoy.
Notes
Ensure the carrots are finely shredded for the best texture.
These protein balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Feel free to substitute the white chocolate with your favorite chocolate chips.
