3/4 cup almond flour
1/2 cup vanilla protein

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

- Caramel Sauce: Mix the coconut sugar, half-and-half,butter and salt in a saucepan overmedium-low heat. Cook while whiskinggently for 5 to 7 minutes, until it gets Add the vanilla and cook anotherminute to thicken further. Turn off theheat, cool slightly and pour the sauce intoa jar. Refrigerate until cold.
- In large bowl, add in all your dry ingredients.
- Then mix in your nut butter, caramel, extracts, and last the honey. Mix well (I use my hands) and roll into bite size balls. You can then roll bites in the extra protein/cinnamon powder after you roll. Makes about 30 balls.
- Feel free to roll into larger bites, or smaller to make more.
- Add more honey/nut butter if they end up being too dry to roll. Just depends on type of protein you use.
- Freeze or keep in refrigerator to maintain freshness.
