Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup powdered peanut butter
  • ¼ cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp oat flour
  • 1 tbsp light cream cheese
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 tbsp finely chopped walnuts, divided

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, protein powder, sugar-free maple syrup, light cream cheese, vanilla, maple extract, cinnamon and salt.
  2. Stir until you have a thick, soft dough. Add the oat flour and mix again. If it’s still too sticky to shape, refrigerate for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Fold 1 tablespoon of the chopped walnuts into the mixture.
  4. Divide into 12 portions and gently roll each into a thick, slightly rustic ball like the ones pictured.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining walnuts over the tops and gently press them in.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Keep chilled until ready to eat.
