Chocolate Almond Butter Protein Balls

I started making these protein energy balls when my doctor said I had low blood sugar and needed to add more protein to my diet. A great afternoon pick-me-up for kids and adults. You can take them to your gluten-free and raw friend’s parties.

Step: 1

Melt coconut oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add rice flour; cook and stir until toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chocolate and stir until just melted. Remove from heat.

Step: 2

Place sesame seeds in a small soup bowl.

Step: 3

Place almond butter, hemp seeds, cocoa powder, protein powder, honey, and salt in another bowl. Stir with a stiff silicone spatula. Add the rice flour mixture and stir to combine.

Step: 4

Measure out about 16 balls using a small ice cream scoop or 2 tablespoons. Roll between palms to shape balls; roll in the bowl of sesame seeds to coat. Roll again to secure the seeds. Place balls in a baking dish and cover with plastic wrap.

Step: 5

Refrigerate until firm, 2 to 4 hours. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
