Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1/4 cup of coconut flour, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix these ingredients together using a spatula for about 3–5 minutes until a thick, dough-like consistency forms.
  2. Gradually add 2–4 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk to the bowl while gently stirring. Continue mixing until the dough is manageable but not too wet, taking about 1–2 minutes.
  3. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll each into a smooth ball. Make approximately 12 equal-sized balls.
  4. Place the rolled balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
  5. After chilling, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
