Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Parchment Paper
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients
  

Banana Bread Dough

  • 2 Scoops Vanilla Collagen Any vanilla protein powder will work!
  • 1+⅓ Cup Almond Flour
  • ¼ Cup Coconut Sugar Or monkfruit for a lower sugar option!
  • ½ Cup Mashed Banana
  • ¼ Cup Almond Butter Or any nut butter.
  • 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon

Chocolate Layer

  • ¾ Cup Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 1 Teaspoon Coconut Oil

Optional Topping

  • ¼ Cup Sprinkles I used the brand Supernatural!

Instructions
 

Making the Banana Bread Dough

  • Start by adding vanilla collagen, almond flour, coconut sugar, mashed banana, almond butter, and cinnamon into a bowl. Stir together until a thick dough forms.
  • Place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to chill.
  • Roll the dough into 1" balls and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet or large plate. Place in freezer to set while you prepare the chocolate.

Chocolate Layer

  • Microwave the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl using 20 second increments. Stir between heating and be careful not to burn the chocolate! Stir until the chocolate is smooth and creamy.
  • Using two forks dunk each ball into the chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drip off through the fork. Place each chocolate covered ball on the parchment paper.
  • If you have leftover chocolate, drizzle a little over each ball and top with your favorite sprinkles! Place in refrigerator or freezer to set for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes

**Nutrition facts do not include sprinkles.

Expert Tips

  • Heat the chocolate at a very low temperature so it doesn't burn. Stir continuously. 
  • Use a whisk to stir the chocolate! It works much better than a spoon.
  • Let the dough chill for at least 15 minutes so it's easier to roll. The dough is a little sticky because of the banana and almond butter.
  • Use a cookie scoop to create the perfect size balls.
  • For dipping, I always use two forks so the excess chocolate can drip off. If you don't let it drip each truffle with have a flat ring of chocolate at the bottom.
  • Use parchment paper lined baking tray or plate so the banana bites don't stick!

How to store leftovers

Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. (I prefer them frozen - the center will stay pretty soft!)
