Are you trying to get more plant based protein in your diet? If you answered "yes", then these bites are for you! Pea protein, almond butter and chocolate are combined to make the perfect afternoon or after-workout snack!

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 16 bites 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Cookie Dough Bites

  • 200 g almond butter
  • 30 g sugar free maple syrup (I use Lakanto Maple Syrup)
  • 35 g vanilla pea protein powder
  • 14 g Lily's chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the Chocolate Coating (if using):

  • 2 oz 85% dark chocolate bar, chopped
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Place almond butter and liquid sweetener in a glass bowl and microwave for 30 seconds or until softened.
  2. Stir to combine and add vanilla extract and protein powder.  Stir in chocolate chips and salt.  Place in fridge for 10-30 minutes to firm.
  3. Once firm, take one heaping tablespoon and form into a ball.  Set aside and continue to form balls until all mixture has been used (I got 16 balls)
  4. Place in freezer.
  5. Prepare chocolate coating by placing chocolate and oil in a glass measuring cup.  Microwave for 30 seconds and stir to combine.  If chocolate has not melted, add another 30 seconds.  Let cool.
  6. Cover a plate with parchment paper.  Remove cookie dough bites from freezer.  Using a fork, roll cookie dough ball in chocolate coating and set on parchment paper.  Repeat with all bites and then place in fridge to cool.
