KETO Peanut Butter Protein Bombs
1g Net Carbs, 4.5g Protein, No Added Sugar, Gluten-free
Get Ready to fall in LOVE!
These fat bombs are seriously SOOOO good! I thought this would be a perfect first post because my blog is made up of Keto cooking and confections!
Once you make these, there's no turning back.. These little guys are a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth while still staying in your daily carbohydrate allowance. They're also a great way to keep your energy levels up, and perhaps, even sneak in a little fiber as well! Fair warning, they're addictive!
Cook Time: 0 mins Prep Time: 20 mins Total Time: 30 mins Yield: 10-30 balls
Serving Size: 1-2 balls (depending on size) Calories: 75-150 per ball (depending on size) Carbohydrates: 1grams (depending on size) Protein: 5 grams(depending on size and type of protein powder if used)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 c Butter (softened)
- 3 Tbs Sugar Alternative (Stevia, Whole Earth, Truvia, ect)
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 c Peanut Butter (Make sure it's no sugar added, natural peanut butter, low carb) (I used Organic Mara Natha Peanut butter (2 Tablespoons= 5 carbs)
- 3/4 c Coconut Flour
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt (fine)
- 2 Tbs Protein Powder** (Optional) (I used Vegan Vanilla from Sprouts with only 1gram of sugar per serving. It's really important to use a low sugar, low carb protein if you decide to add it. You can also have fun and add a chocolate flavored protein powder or even a berry flavor to give these a PB & Jelly vibe)
- 1 Tbs Fiber** (Optional) (If using, make sure to add sugar free, flavorless powder. We keep Benefiber on hand at all times!)
- 1 Tbs Collagen Powder** (Optional) (Because, why not?! (Again, flavorless and sugar-free)
- 1/2 c Sugar-free Dark Chocolate Chips (Lilly's brand is a favorite of mine)
- 5 Tbs Milk or Milk Alternative
- In a large bowl, add the butter, peanut butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix together.
- Next, add the coconut flour, protein powder (if using), fiber (if using) collagen (if using) and stir until well combined. I found the best method was to just get my hands in there to make sure everything was incorporated fully.
- Roll into small balls, however big you prefer. To make sure all of mine were the same size, I used a small dough cookie/cupcake scooper.
- Transfer balls to freezer for at least 15mins.
- Time to make the ganache drizzle. Heat milk in microwave until hot. About 45-60 seconds in microwave.
- Pour over chocolate chips and whisk until smooth. **Should have a liquid consistency but not too runny. If too thick, add a little more milk until the desired consistency is reached. ** If the chocolate is lumpy, you'll have to heat it up more, either in the microwave or stovetop.
- You can achieve the drizzle effect on the balls in a few ways: The spoon method is literally just taking a small spoon and scooping up the ganache, then drizzling it over the balls repeatedly. OR if you have a small bottle with a tiny opening, use that to squirt it on. OR you can even transfer the ganache to a plastic sandwich bag, cutting a small hole into the corner, then drizzle it on. Just be sure your ganache isn't too hot or the bag will melt and you'll probably burn yourself!
- Enjoy!!
