Chocolate protein balls

This recipe makes 14 balls, each weighing about 30g.Here’s what I used (though I might double the peanut butter next time for a stronger flavour – I ran out of dates!):

Ingredients:

• 17 Medjool dates
• 20g instant oats
• 20g cocoa powder
• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
• 2 Tbsp peanut butter (might double next time!)
• 2 Tbsp maple syrup
• 1½ tsp vanilla paste
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp LSA

Coating options:

• Cocoa powder
• Cocoa nibs
• 1 cup dark chocolate + 1 tsp coconut oil

Method:

• Blitz everything in a food processor.
• Roll into 30g balls.
• For coating: people can choose how to finish them – roll in cocoa nibs for crunch, dip in melted chocolate, or dust with cocoa powder.
