These no-bake protein truffles taste just like classic cookie dough, but with a healthy twist and a creamy peanut butter drizzle. Quick to make, packed with protein, and perfect for snacking or sharing at gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup oat flour (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup creamy natural peanut butter (unsweetened, or sunflower seed butter for nut-free)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or honey)
  • 23 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or oat/regular milk)
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (dairy-free if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the peanut butter drizzle:
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 12 teaspoons powdered sugar or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together oat flour, protein powder, almond flour, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Add peanut butter, maple syrup, 2 tablespoons almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir with a rubber spatula until a thick dough forms. If too dry, add another tablespoon almond milk.
  3. Fold in mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  4. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion and roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
  5. Chill truffles in the fridge for at least 15 minutes (or freezer for 5 minutes) to firm up.
  6. For the drizzle, combine peanut butter and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 20-30 seconds, then stir until smooth. Whisk in powdered sugar or maple syrup if desired.
  7. Drizzle peanut butter mixture over chilled truffles using a fork or spoon. If too thick, add a splash of almond milk.
  8. Chill truffles for 5 more minutes to set the drizzle. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For vegan truffles, use plant-based protein powder and dairy-free chocolate chips. If dough is crumbly, add more almond milk; if sticky, add extra oat flour. Wet hands before rolling for smoother truffles. Truffles can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for 2 months. Customize with nuts, dried fruit, or cocoa powder for variations.
