Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup protein powder, chocolate or vanilla (93g)
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon coconut flour (70g)
  • 1/4 cup dark cocoa powder (28g)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sweetener like swerve (48g)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree from a can (122g)
  • 1/2 cup plain applesauce (112g)
  • 1/3 cup vanilla almond milk, unsweetened (80g)

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons white chocolate chips (28g) (opt for dairy-free if required)
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet or suitable pan with wax paper. Set the prepared sheet aside to place the Oreo protein balls on after they’re formed.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, coconut flour, dark cocoa powder, and granulated sweetener. Thoroughly mix these dry ingredients using a whisk or spoon to ensure even distribution.
  3. Incorporate the Wet Ingredients: Add pumpkin puree, applesauce, and vanilla almond milk to the bowl with dry ingredients. Mix everything together until a uniform dough forms, using a hand mixer, stand mixer, or sturdy spoon.
  4. Form the Oreo Balls: Roll the dough into small balls about a heaping tablespoon or 20 grams each, ensuring smooth sides. Place each ball on the wax paper-lined baking sheet as you go.
  5. Prepare and Drizzle the White Chocolate: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips with coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between sessions until fully melted. Quickly drizzle the melted white chocolate over the Oreo balls before it starts to harden.
  6. Set and Store: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate drizzle to set. For storage, keep the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freeze them for longer shelf life.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free white chocolate chips if you need a vegan or dairy-free option.
  • The balls freeze well and can be stored frozen for extended freshness.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste by modifying the amount of granulated sweetener.
  • Ensure all ingredients are well combined for best texture.
  • Handle the dough promptly when forming balls as it may become sticky if left out too long.
