Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a food processor, add rolled oats, ube halaya, protein powder, shredded coconut, pitted dates, almond butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Pulse the mixture for about 30 seconds until it forms a thick, sticky mass.
  2. Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the dough, rolling each portion into smooth balls about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Refrigerate the baking sheet with the balls for about 10 minutes to firm them up.
  4. Once chilled, enjoy your Ube Protein Balls! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
