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 using a box grater and pat lightly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- In a medium bowl, mix the oat flour, protein powder, cashew butter, shredded carrots, applesauce, maple syrup, raisins, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until a thick dough forms.
- Scoop the mixture into bite-size portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 10-15 minutes until firm.
- Add the white chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off, then place back on the parchment. Optionally sprinkle with crushed walnuts.
- Refrigerate (or freeze) until the chocolate coating is set. Store in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
Notes
Ensure the carrots are finely shredded to avoid excess moisture.
These protein balls can be stored in the fridge for a week or frozen for longer freshness.
Feel free to customize toppings based on preference.
