Cookie Dough Protein Balls (no bake)
Prep Notes
My new Raw Cookie Dough Protein Balls are ready to rock your world. If you close your eyes and take a bite you would never know they are egg free, gluten free, gluten-free and made with chickpeas!
They are truly delish!
(I soak the chickpeas overnight even the ones in the can. I find that's the only way I can digest them )
*just a note if you don't pulse the oats a fine powder the balls will be a little grainy and darker in color but the flavor is still yummy!
Ingredients
1 can chickpeas rinsed and drained
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup creamy almond butter
1-2 scoops of your protein collagen powder I use @vitalproteins
1/2 cup pure maple syrup ( I used a little more than 1/4 )
2 tablespoons flax seed meal
2 tablespoons oats
pinch sea salt
1/3 cup chocolate chips
Directions
In the bowl of your food processor pulse the oats and flax meal until its powder-like add the rest of ingredients except chocolate
chips pulse until resembles cookie dough. Dump it into a small bowl and add chips. Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop cookie on to a plate and freeze for 1 hour. I like to take them out and let them rest for a few minutes so they are soft.
