One truffle is should not be a serving size for these. I would be lying if I said that's how many I had.
It was more along the lines of 3 or 4 at a time.
If you can stop at one of these protein gingerbread balls, that is some self control there!
But to be honest, it's completely okay to indulge in these little gingerbread truffles, because not only are they high protein, but also extremely low calorie and low fat. This is beacuse they're made with oat flour and raw cacao powder; No melted chocolate needed!
I'd recommend dipping them in melted white chocolate for good measure though 🙂

How to store Low Carb Gingerbread Protein Balls
These chocolate protein gingerbread bites need to be stored in the fridge since they're made with milk as a binder for all the dry ingredients.
Use an airtight container and they should keep for a week.

I made these coconut flour, but you can use about ½ cup almond flour instead.
Use normal milk if you don't have a restriction that requires almond milk
Vegan protein powder might woke well too, just be sure to taste the mixture and add extra sweetener if needed.
