Peanut Butter Protein Truffles
Credit:
Lauren Berger and Marla Felton, long-time friends and founders of REAL Cookies, often struggled with coming up with desserts that satisfied EVERYONE at their holiday tables – from friends who like to indulge in traditional treats to family members with dietary restrictions. This, along with their love for cookies, inspired their mission to come up with both healthy and delicious cookie recipes that everyone would crave and enjoy. After three tireless years and baking and taste testing, REAL Cookies came to life. Grain-free, gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, kosher, and Paleo friendly, REAL Cookies check all the boxes and are tasty to boot!
Ingredients
- 1 cup extra chunky no-stir natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup vegan honey or agave
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- ¼ cup Miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2-4 REAL Chocolate Chip Cookies (for outer layer of truffle)
Directions
- Place 2 – 4 REAL Chocolate Chip Cookies in a Vitamix or blender. Blend on high for 15 – 30 seconds. Place in bowl or on plate and set aside.
- Mix all remaining Ingredients (except cookies) in glass bowl. Integrate well. Using hands to mix is helpful.
- Scoop out mixture with small 1-inch ice cream scoop and place on tray lined with parchment paper.
- Roll each scooped out serving individually with hands to form round balls.
- Roll each Truffle ball into cookie crumbs to create a coating. Set back on tray with parchment paper.
- When all truffles are finished and coated with cookies, place entire tray in refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours. Then Enjoy!
