How to Prepare Cake Batter Protein Truffles [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

In a bowl, mix together your protein, coconut flour, and coconut sugar.
Stir in melted coconut oil and syrup.
Stir in almond milk, you may need to add a half tablespoon more depending on the type of protein you use. You don't want your dough to be too thick or too dry. Think cookie dough texture.
Separate your dough into seven evenly-sized balls and place them in the freezer for 5 minutes while you prepare your coating.
For the coating, mix together the protein powder, coconut sugar, and warm water. Stir in your coconut oil until completely incorporated. Be sure to add the coconut oil last or the consistency will not be correct.
Remove truffles from the freezer and dip each on the coating using a fork. Let the excess drip before placing on a piece of parchment paper.
Garnish with sprinkles if desired.
Place in the freezer for 5 minutes before serving.
Best if stored in the freezer and then thawed a few minutes before consuming.
