Tiramisu Protein Balls

How to Make:

Step 1

1. In a food processor, combine rolled oats, hazelnut chocolate spread, almond butter, honey, 2 oz. cream cheese, salt, protein powder, and cold brew. Pulse slowly until mixture just comes together to form a coarse, sticky dough. Chill for 1 hour.

Step 2

2. Divide dough into 12 balls about 1-1/2 inches in size.

Step 3

3. Cut the remaining cream cheese evenly into 12 pieces. One at a time, press a deep thumbprint into each dough ball and fill it with a piece of cream cheese, gently pressing the mixture to cover the cream cheese with dough.

Step 4

4. Reroll to shape and repeat with remaining dough.

Step 5

5. Dust protein bites with cocoa powder and eat immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Chef’s note: Try adding flaxseed or chia seeds, or chopped nuts and toasted coconut.
