Equipment

  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy cashew butter (sub peanut butter)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 40 grams (~2 scoops) collagen peptides
  • 3 Tbsp. maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 1/2 cup mini or standard chocolate chips (use Enjoy Life for dairy-free, or Lily's brand for lower-sugar)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine cashew butter, almond flour, maple syrup, vanilla (if using), collagen, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the mixture forms a consistency similar to cookie dough. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Use a medium cookie dough to scoop mixture into 12 to 14 balls. Arrange on a plate and sprinkle with flaky salt, if desired. Chill for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • To Store. Refrigerate balls for up to 2 weeks in a storage container. Enjoy chilled right out of the refrigerator (my preference), or let them stand at room temperature first, if you prefer.
  • To Freeze. Place balls in an airtight storage container or ziptop bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Let thaw in the refrigerator.
