Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup strong brewed espresso, cooled
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate protein powder, almond flour, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and salt. Mix well.
- Pour in the cooled espresso and maple syrup, if using.
- Stir the mixture until a thick dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, add espresso, one teaspoon at a time. If it is too wet, add a little more protein powder.
- Roll the dough into small, bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
- Place the truffles on a parchment-lined plate or tray.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before enjoying.
Notes
- For a different flavor, try using vanilla protein powder and adding a dash of cinnamon.
- If you prefer a richer chocolate flavor, roll the finished truffles in extra cocoa powder before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
