Ingredients

  • 1 cup drippy all-natural cashew butter
  • 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder we used Garden of Life*
  • 1/2 cup quick cooking oats
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1-4 teaspoons water*

Chocolate Coating

Instructions

  • Place the cashew butter, protein powder, oats, maple syrup, and mini chocolate chips into a medium bowl.

  • Use a wooden spoon or your hands to mix the dough. Begin to add water by the teaspoon. How much water you use will depend on how drippy the cashew butter is. The water helps loosen the dough as well as prevent the truffles from becoming chalky.
  • Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop dough into your palms. Roll into balls until all the dough is gone. You should get somewhere between 14-16 balls. Set aside.

  • Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate chips on high for 20-second increments, stirring every 20 seconds until melted and glossy.
  • Use a fork to fully submerge each ball into the chocolate. Be sure each ball is completely coated. Let any excess chocolate drip from the ball and place it on a lined plate or baking sheet. Repeat until all balls have been dipped.
