Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

3/4 cup protein powder, chocolate or vanilla (93g)
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon coconut flour (70g)
1/4 cup dark cocoa powder (28g)
1/4 cup granulated sweetener like swerve (48g)

Wet Ingredients

1/2 cup pumpkin puree from a can (122g)
1/2 cup plain applesauce (112g)
1/3 cup vanilla almond milk, unsweetened (80g)

For Drizzle

2 tablespoons white chocolate chips (28g) (opt for dairy-free if required)
1/2 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet or another suitable pan with wax paper and set it aside to place the Oreo balls on after they are formed.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, coconut flour, dark cocoa powder, and sweetener. Whisk or stir well to ensure an even distribution of all dry components.
Incorporate the Wet Ingredients: Add pumpkin puree, applesauce, and almond milk to the dry mix. Stir or mix with a hand mixer or spoon until the dough becomes uniform and well-combined.
Form the Oreo Balls: Use your hands to roll the dough into small balls, about a heaping tablespoon or roughly 20 grams each. Smooth all sides and place each ball onto the wax paper-lined baking sheet.
Prepare and Drizzle the White Chocolate: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips with coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted. Quickly drizzle over the Oreo balls before the chocolate hardens.
Set and Store: Place the baking sheet with the balls in the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Store finished balls in a closed container in the refrigerator, or freeze for longer storage as they freeze well.

Notes

Use dairy-free white chocolate chips if you need a vegan or dairy-free version.
You can substitute pumpkin puree with mashed banana or sweet potato if desired.
Adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of granulated sweetener according to taste.
These balls can be kept refrigerated for up to one week or frozen for up to 3 months.
Ensure the protein powder you choose complements the flavors of chocolate or vanilla for best taste.
