Ingredients You’ll Need

The ingredient list for White Chocolate Oreo Protein Balls is short, simple, and brimming with wholesome goodness! Each component plays a vital role, from the intense black cocoa to the creamy pumpkin, giving every bite a luscious texture and iconic cookies-and-cream taste.

• Protein Powder (chocolate or vanilla): Adds the protein boost and also enhances the classic Oreo flavor—choose a brand you love for the best taste.
• Coconut Flour: Gives the protein balls their soft, moist structure and contributes subtle sweetness and fiber.
• Dutch Black Cocoa Powder: This ultra-dark cocoa creates the signature Oreo taste and gorgeous deep color—don’t skip it if you want the real deal!
• Swerve Granular Sweetener: A no-calorie sweetener that keeps things perfectly sweet without added sugar.
• Canned Pumpkin: Adds moisture, binding, and extra nutrients, all without any pumpkin flavor—it’s our secret weapon!
• Unsweetened Applesauce: Works with the pumpkin to provide additional moisture and help everything stick together, keeping the protein balls tender.
• Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk: Brings balance and just enough liquid to bind the dough without making it sticky.
• White Chocolate Chips: The ultimate finishing touch—just a drizzle overtop gives a sweet, creamy pop.
• Coconut Oil: Helps the white chocolate melt and drizzle smoothly.

Variations

One of the joys of making White Chocolate Oreo Protein Balls is how simple it is to customize them. You can experiment with flavors, sweeteners, or even the drizzle to match your taste or dietary preferences—so make them your own!

• Dairy-Free Switch: Use dairy-free white chocolate chips and plant-based protein powder to make these fully vegan and allergy-friendly.
• Nutty Crunch: Mix in a handful of chopped nuts or seeds for an extra crunch and nutrient boost—almonds or sunflower seeds are delicious here.
• Chocolate Drizzle: Swap the white chocolate for dark, semi-sweet, or even a flavored chocolate drizzle if you’re in the mood for something different.
• Holiday Flavors: Add a pinch of peppermint extract or warm spices like cinnamon for a seasonal, festive twist!

How to Make White Chocolate Oreo Protein Balls

Step 1: Prep Your Baking Sheet

Line a baking sheet or any flat pan with wax paper and set it aside. This gives you a spot to rest your protein balls while you shape and drizzle, and makes clean-up an absolute breeze.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together your protein powder, coconut flour, black cocoa, and sweetener. Make sure everything is evenly combined—this ensures every bite has that signature Oreo flavor and perfect consistency.

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

Next, add the canned pumpkin, applesauce, and almond milk to your dry mix. Stir with a sturdy spoon, spatula, or hand mixer (stand mixer works, too!) until the mixture forms a soft, cohesive dough. It should hold together easily but not feel too sticky.

Step 4: Shape the Balls

Scoop out heaping tablespoonfuls (about 20g each) and roll them between your hands until smooth and round. Keep going until you’ve used all the dough—place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet as you go. You’ll end up with about 28 perfect bites.

Step 5: Make the White Chocolate Drizzle

In a small bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and melted. Don’t wander off—white chocolate melts fast and can seize if overheated!

Step 6: Drizzle & Set

Immediately (before the chocolate starts to firm), use a spoon to drizzle the melted white chocolate over all the protein balls. Once they’re finished, pop the sheet into the freezer for about 10 minutes—just long enough for the chocolate to set and the balls to firm up.

How to Serve White Chocolate Oreo Protein Balls

Garnishes

For extra wow, sprinkle a little extra black cocoa over the finished White Chocolate Oreo Protein Balls or add a dusting of finely crushed Oreos—this makes them look even more irresistible! A flurry of mini chocolate chips or an extra drizzle of melted dark chocolate never hurts, either.

Side Dishes

Pair your protein balls with a cold glass of almond milk, hot coffee, or an easy fruit salad for a balanced snack plate. They’re also fantastic alongside Greek yogurt or cottage cheese for a post-workout treat that tastes like dessert!

Creative Ways to Present

Arrange the White Chocolate Oreo Protein Balls on a fancy platter for parties, or pop a few into mini cupcake liners for lunchboxes and snack boxes. Stack them in a mason jar tied with ribbon for a fun, edible gift—nothing says “I adore you” like homemade treats!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

White Chocolate Oreo Protein Balls keep wonderfully in the fridge. Store them in a sealed container and they’ll stay fresh, moist, and snack-ready for up to a week—perfect for grab-and-go energy all week long.

Freezing

Freezing is a breeze: arrange the balls on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag or airtight container. They’ll last for up to 2-3 months, and you can thaw what you need whenever cravings hit!

Reheating

There’s no need to reheat—these bites are best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature. If grabbing from the freezer, let them rest a few minutes to soften for the perfect fudgy texture.
