Equipment

- Sauce pan
- Food scale
- Whisk or spatula
- Baking sheet with parchment paper
Ingredients
The filling
- 250 grams creamy or crunchy natural peanut butter
- 30 grams vanilla protein powder
- 40 grams maple syrup
- 5 grams vanilla extract
- 1 gram fine sea salt
Chocolate Coating
- 180 grams dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips (Lily's brand is amazing)
- 12 grams coconut oil
Instructions
-
To a mixing bowl add the peanut butter, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until completely smooth. Chill for 15-20 minutes.
-
After the rest, scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough (18 grams) and roll it into a ball (there will be about 17-18 bites).
-
Freeze the peanut butter balls for 15-20 minutes for easier handling.
-
While the bites are chilling, melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a small sauce pan over low heat until completely smooth.
-
Dip each peanut butter ball into the chocolate, lift using a fork to allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place the balls on a parchment-line tray and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
-
Freeze the protein bites for 30 minutes to 1 hour or until the coating sets.
-
Store the peanut butter protein bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. The chocolate coating and peanut butter filling stay firm and make the perfect for grab and go snacking.
-
For longer storage freeze the bites in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months.
