Get ready to satisfy your peanut butter cravings with this recipe – a quick, easy, and irresistibly delicious snack that’s perfect for everyone. Made with just five simple ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry already: peanut butter, protein powder, allulose, vanilla and crushed peanuts. These protein balls are a breeze to whip up whenever hunger strikes or store them for a super easy grab-and-go breakfast.
They’re also great for changing up and customizing for your own tastes. You can use a flavored protein powder or use cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist (you may need to add some almond milk in to help thin the mixture). Or, sub out the peanuts on the outside for crushed pecans, walnuts, coconut flakes, chia seeds, or hemp seeds. Mix and match the different toppings to keep things interesting!
Yields 6 servings of Keto 5-Ingredient No-Bake Peanut Butter Balls
The Preparation
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter, sugar-free
- 3/4 cup unflavored protein powder
- 3/4 cup allulose
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup peanuts, chopped and optionally toasted
The Execution
1. Gather and prep all ingredients.
2. Add the peanut butter, protein powder, allulose, and vanilla extract to a food processor.
3. Blend the mixture until smooth and any lumps removed, scraping down the sides as needed. The mixture should be dense and able to form balls with. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a bit of unsweetened almond milk to help thin it out.
4. Place the mixture into the freezer for 10-15 minutes to make firm and less sticky. Then, use a spoon to scoop out the mixture and form into ~1 inch balls.
5. Roll the balls into the chopped peanuts, evenly coating the outside. You may need to press the peanuts into the balls but you can re-shape as needed.
6. Enjoy immediately, or store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
