Ingredients

1 medium banana (approx. 120g)
1/4 cup nut butter (see notes for nut-free version)
1/2 cup vanilla plant protein powder
2 tbsp almond flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbsp water
100g dairy-free dark chocolate

Directions

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients, except the chocolate until well combined. The mixture will have a dough-like consistency.
Using a tablespoon, separate the dough and roll them into balls placing them on a bake tray. If the dough is too moist to roll, place them in the freezer for 10mins for firm up.
Once the balls have been rolled, place them in the freezer while you prepare the chocolate coating.
For the coating: Using a double boiler method or a microwave, melt the dark chocolate stirring frequently.
Once melted, retrieve the fillings from the freezer and dip each ball, one at a time into the melted chocolate.
Put the finished protein balls in the fridge or freezer to allow the chocolate to set.
Store in fridge or freezer.
Enjoy!

Recipe Note

For nut free version, substitute nut butter for sunflower seed butter and replace almond flour with 1 tbsp plant protein powder & 1 tbsp coconut flour. If mixture is too wet or dry adjust by adding small amounts of water or flour until right texture.
