Ingredients For Baked Chocolate Protein Balls

These baked chocolate protein balls use really simple and healthy ingredients and take only 15 minutes to make too!

Here’s what you need:

  • Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
  • Chocolate Protein Powder needed for high protein donut holes and also replaces the ‘sugar’. I used the Chocolate Milkshake protein powder from Quest Nutrition for this recipe (it’s a whey-caesin blend and bakes really well).
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, or Raw Cacao Powder (HAYLSKITCHEN.15OFF to save on Kiva Cacao)
  • Non-Fat Greek Yogurt for extra protein
  • Baking Powder

For the filling

  • KitKat Candy Bars!
  • Wafer cookies
  • Candy
  • Chocolate Chips
  • Chocolate Bar
  • Crackers

Can you Bake Protein Balls?

Most recipes out there are for no bake protein bites, but these chocolate protein balls are oven baked and turn out just great!
