Do you really want to live without decadent dark chocolate and creamy peanut butter? By adding a protein punch to this classic combo, you'll never have to go hungry again!
If you like protein and peanut butter, you're going to fall head over heels in love with this recipe. It's incredibly quick and easy to make, and you only need a handful of basic ingredients. The best part is that you can whip these up without touching your oven during the dog days of summer!
The peanut butter you use really matters when it comes to the consistency of your final product. If you use a super smooth peanut butter, your buckeyes will be creamier. If you use one that's thick and dense, you'll probably need to add a bit more milk to get the doughy, soft consistency.
Don't worry, though: Any and all peanut butters will work for this. And if you don't like peanut butter, well, no problem! Just use almond butter or sunflower seed butter instead. Have fun with this one, make it your own, and enjoy.
Ingredients
- Peanut butter - 1/4 cup
- Vanilla whey protein powder - 1/3 cup
- Ground almonds - 1/8 cup
- Almond milk - 2 tsp
- Dark chocolate chips - 1/8 cup
Directions
Prep: 20 min
Cook: 10 min
Total: 30 min
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until you get a thick doughy consistency that can be rolled into balls. If your dough is too wet or sticky, add more of the ground almonds. If it's too dry and crumbly, add more milk one tablespoon at a time.
- Using your hands, roll your dough into 8-10 balls, or truffles.
- Melt dark chocolate and dunk your truffles using a small spoon or a toothpick. Leave a bit of the ball uncoated; that's the "eye" of the buck.
- Allow buckeyes to set in the fridge for 30 minutes or in the freezer for 10 minutes.
