I actually got the inspiration for these Samoa cookie bites from a post on Instagram. They were just too easy to say no to – literally took like 10 minutes to throw together. And that’s including the coconut-toasting time.

Best part, you feel like you’re eating a Samoa Cookie but with these macros and clean ingredients you can definitely go for even a 3rd one! It’s even got a Samoa-flavored cashew butter in there!

Ingredients for Samoa Protein Balls

These healthy samoa cookie protein balls are made with simple ingredients like oat flour, protein powder and coconut flour, and are great for a healthy, sugar-free snack. Here’s all that goes in:

• Whey-Casein Vanilla Protein Powder to add sweetness to these no sugar protein truffles. I used whey-casein Vanilla flavor from Quest Nutrition
• Oat Flour
• Unflavored Protein Powder; I use the Multi-purpose mix protein powder from Quest Nutrition.
• Samoa flavored Cashew Butter; from American Dream Nut Butter (Some Mo’ Cashew Butter). It’s lower fat and higher protein than normal, and just amazing (code HAYLSKITCHEN gives you a discount on these).
  ADNB has other amazing flavors that would work well here too.
• Almond Butter Powder, also known as Powdered Almond Butter. I use the one from PB2.
• Coconut Flour
• Unsweetened Almond Milk

And for rolling:

• Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
• Sugar Free Chocolate: I used the one from Lakanto here.

• A bit of Coconut Oil

How to make Samoa Cookie Bites with Protein Powder

These samoa cookie bites are made with protein powder for sweetness, and actually super easy – with no baking needed. Here’s some pointers to get it right.

• Mix all dry ingredients first (oat flour, protein powders, coconut flour, almond butter powder) so that you get an even mix.
  Use whey-casein protein powder since it works well with the ratio of ingredients here; Whey absorbs less moisture, so you would have to reduce the amount of milk in this case.

• Add cashew butter and then milk little at a time; Even a little extra could make the mix too runny.
  Add more milk to mix if too dry, more coconut flour if too wet; Mixture should be handleable and rollable.

• Taste the batter and see if you need some extra sweetener. I’d recommend using stevia powder to maintain the consistency of the mixture and have sugar free no bake Samoa cookie truffle recipe.

• Broil coconut and keep checking when broiling since it can burn easily.

• Roll the samoa protein balls in shredded coconut when coconut is still warm so that it sticks.

To store No Bake Samoa Protein Bites

These Samoa protein bites are best stored in the fridge since they do have a bit of milk in there.

To store Samoa cookie energy balls, keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for 2-3 months. Let them thaw on the counter before eating!
