Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Natural Peanut Butter (crunchy or creamy) The star ingredient providing protein and healthy fats.
  • 1/3 cup Honey Adds natural sweetness and binds the ingredients together.
  • 2/3 cup Almond Flour A gluten-free option that keeps the balls together while adding a nutty flavor.
  • pinch Sea Salt (optional) Enhances the flavor profile, balancing sweetness and nuttiness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all ingredients and line a rimmed baking sheet with wax paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of natural peanut butter, 1/3 cup of honey, 2/3 cup of almond flour, and a pinch of sea salt. Use a spatula or your hands to mix until fully incorporated.
  3. Roll the mixture into walnut-sized balls. If the mixture sticks to your hands, add a little more almond flour until it no longer sticks.
  4. Transfer the rolled balls to the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
  5. After chilling, you can choose to re-roll the balls for a neater appearance. If you’re not concerned about shape, enjoy them right away!
  6. Seal the balls in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator. They will firm up more after 4-6 hours.

Notes

To maintain freshness, store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They are also freezer-friendly and can last for up to 3 months in the freezer. Consider using other nut butters or adding mix-ins like dark chocolate chips or dried fruits for variation.
