Description

Almond Joy Protein Poppers with Oats is a delicious and nutritious snack or dessert option that combines the flavors of Almond Joy candy with the health benefits of oats and protein.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups old fashion oats or quick oats *use certified gluten free oats if making GF
  • 1 cup almond butter
  • 1/2 cup toasted unsweetened coconut
  • 1/31/2 cup raw honey ( according to your tastes–I like it less)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (optional–works fine without)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder ( used half dark chocolate powder)
  • 2 tbsp chopped almonds (I used salted roasted)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Combine all dry ingredients in a stand mixer bowl (or you can stir by hand of course).
  2. Mix on low until ingredients are well blended.
  3. Add wet ingredients to blended dry ingredients.
  4. Mix on medium speed until a “dough” forms.
  5. Scrape sides of bowl with a spatula and mix again if needed.
  6. Using a small cookie scoop form dough into balls.
  7. Set balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet or storage container and refrigerate for at least one hour or until ready to eat.
  8. I like to keep them in the freezer. Pack in lunches or grab for an on the go snack! Enjoy!
