Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, vanilla protein powder, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until a soft, cohesive dough forms, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Use a tablespoon to portion out the dough and roll it into equal-sized balls, approximately one inch in diameter. Place the balls on a parchment-lined plate.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut sugar and additional cinnamon until well combined.
  4. Take each rolled ball and roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
  5. Once coated, refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up the bites.

Notes

For best consistency, ensure the dough isn't too dry or wet. Proper refrigeration enhances texture and flavor. Use high-quality protein powder to avoid chalky taste.
