Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Workspace: Line a baking tray or plate with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure all ingredients are readily available.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, and protein powder for even distribution.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in almond butter, maple syrup, instant coffee, and milk until a thick dough forms, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Adjust the Dough Texture: If the dough is too crumbly, add milk; if too sticky, add more almond flour until desired consistency is achieved.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chunks: Carefully fold in the chocolate chunks evenly throughout the dough.
  6. Shape the Protein Balls: Roll the dough into 1½ to 2-inch balls and place them on the lined tray.
  7. Chill the Protein Balls: Freeze for about 15 minutes to firm them up.
  8. Store for Enjoyment: Transfer to an airtight container for storage; can be kept in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for up to three months.

Notes

Ensure your dough is thick but not overly sticky; adjust with milk or almond flour as necessary. Chilling helps maintain the shape of the balls. Store in an airtight container for best freshness.
