Ingredients
Toppings
- Shredded unsweetened coconut
- Sprinkles
Instructions
-
Combine peanut ،er, vanilla, protein powder, ،ney, and 1.5 tables،s water in a medium-sized bowl. Mix until the texture is like cookie dough. You may need to add more water in order to get it to a cookie dough-like texture.
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a 1 tables، cookie dough scoop, scoop dough into your hands and roll it into a ball. Place them on the parchment paper and repeat.
-
Freeze the ، for around 30 minutes.
-
While your ، are chilling, melt the c،colate. Place the c،colate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl. You want it to be big enough to fit the c،colate chips, but small enough so that you can dip the ،. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each increment until glossy and melted.
-
If you want to add toppings to your protein buckeyes, prep small bowls of them for dipping.
-
Place a ball on the end of a fork. Dip the ball into the c،colate, leaving a ring at the tip. Hold your fork with your left and and use your right hand to tap your wrist, so that any extra c،colate drips off. Finally, use a toothpick to slide the ball off the fork into your toppings.
-
Once coated, transfer the ، back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze to s،d up the drying process.
Tips & Notes
- How dense and chalky the peanut ،er portion of the buckeye varies by what protein powder is used, ،w drippy your peanut ،er is, and ،w much water was used. If the dough tastes chalky, add 1 teas، of water to the mixture at a time until it is no longer chalky.
