Healthy and delicious Gingerbread Keto Protein Balls perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup erythritol (or preferred sweetener)
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond butter
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons water (if needed for consistency)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, vanilla protein powder, erythritol, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add the almond butter, coconut flakes, sugar-free maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir until fully combined. If the mixture is too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a dough-like consistency.
- Once the mixture is well combined, use your hands to roll it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- For added texture, mix in some chopped nuts or seeds.
- Substitute the almond butter with peanut butter or sunflower seed butter for a different flavor profile.
