Ingredients

  • 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter — unsweetened, well-stirred
  • 1/3 cup granulated allulose — or powdered erythritol/monk fruit blend
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder — whey or low-carb plant protein
  • 1/2 cup finely milled almond flour
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds — or ground flaxseed
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened very fine shredded coconut
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp fine sea salt — a generous pinch
  • 2 tsp coconut oil or MCT oil — melted; use 1–2 tsp to adjust texture
  • 1/4 cup mini sugar-free chocolate chips — or cacao nibs
  • extra fine shredded coconut — for rolling
  • crushed roasted peanuts — for rolling; unsalted or lightly salted
  • 1–2 tsp almond milk or water — only if mixture is dry

Instructions

  1. Stir natural peanut butter until smooth and cohesive; microwave 10–15 seconds to loosen if needed.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk protein powder, almond flour, chia or flax, sweetener, shredded coconut, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Add peanut butter, vanilla, and 1–2 teaspoons melted coconut or MCT oil to the dry mix. Stir and fold until no dry streaks remain.
  4. If the mixture crumbles, add 1 teaspoon almond milk or water at a time. If too sticky to roll, dust in 1 tablespoon additional almond flour.
  5. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes so the chia or flax hydrates and the dough firms up.
  6. Stir in mini sugar-free chocolate chips or cacao nibs, if using.
  7. Scoop with a small cookie scoop and roll into 1-inch balls between your palms.
  8. Roll some bites in extra fine shredded coconut or crushed roasted peanuts for texture.
  9. Place on a parchment-lined plate and chill 20–30 minutes until firm and springy to the touch.
  10. Enjoy immediately or transfer to an airtight container for the week.

Notes

Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 10 days, layering with parchment so bites don’t stick. For a firmer texture, store near the back of the fridge. Freeze on a sheet pan until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag for 2–3 months. Thaw at room temp 10–15 minutes. Optional: a 5-second microwave softens and makes chocolate flecks melty.
