Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup almond butter, crunchy 130 g
  • 4 tablespoons whey protein powder 28 g
  • 1 tablespoon liquid allulose
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt only if the almond butter is unsalted
  • 1/2 tablespoon water to loosen the mixture, add as needed

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Fork
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Measuring cup
  • cutting implement or knife
  • small plate (for toppings)

Method
 

  1. Combine the almond butter, whey protein powder, liquid allulose, cinnamon, and sea salt (if using) in a mixing bowl.
  2. Mix with a fork until the ingredients come together into a firm, pliable dough; add up to 1/2 tablespoon water gradually if the mixture is too dry.
  3. Form the dough into one large ball, then divide it into 6 equal portions.
  4. Roll each portion between your palms to make smooth balls.
  5. Optionally, roll each ball in a topping such as crushed pumpkin seeds and additional cinnamon.

Notes

  • If too dry, add a little water or almond milk.
  • If too runny, stir in more protein powder.
  • You can substitute powdered sweeteners like allulose, Bocha Sweet, or erythritol/monk fruit.
  • Add liquid gradually to balance texture.
