Prep Time 20 minutes minutes

Servings 6 puffs

Equipment

• Electric hand mixer

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp Smooth Almond Butter
• 1 scoop Myology Chocolate Whey Protein Isolate
• 1/3 cup Organic Coconut Flour
• 1 1/2 tbsp Raw manuka honey
• 1 tspn Vanilla Extract
• 1/4 tspn Cinnamon

• 2 tbsp Ground flaxseed
• 2 tbsp Powdered Peanut Butter

Instructions

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, coconut flour, cinnamon, and flaxseed. 
• Add the almond butter, manuka honey, vanilla extract, and milk to the bowl.
• Blend with an electric hand mixer until a slightly sticky, paste-like texture is achieved.
• Using your hands, roll the mixture into individual balls that are about 2-3 inches in diameter each. If the mixture feels too dry, add a splash of milk, blend, and try it again. 
• Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of the powdered peanut butter across a small plate.
• Roll each ball on the plate to coat with a small amount of the powder evenly across the entire surface.
• Store in the fridge when finished.

Notes

Note that the flavor of the finished puffs, using the recipe above, tends to be only moderately sweet.  For a sweeter treat, add an extra teaspoon of manuka honey.
