I recently hosted my birthday party and was decided that I wanted to make my own desserts to serve. My party also happened to fall on the same week of testing and photographing these biscoff protein ball recipe for my blog.

My husband, who is not traditionally a sweets guy, came home from work, grabbed one of these protein balls out of the fridge, and proceeded to say “I don’t know why you are making cookies, you should just serve these protein balls at the dessert at your party… they’re that good”

I did end up making my own cookies for the party but he’s right, this recipe is absolutely delicious enough to serve as dessert. These Biscoff protein balls are as loaded with Biscoff flavor as they are with protein, and they taste so sweet that you would never guess they are made with just 4 ingredients!

As a creative way to use to use creamy Biscoff spread, this recipe can be enjoyed as a high protein or as a meal prepped protein snack throughout the week. No matter how you choose to serve them, this easy recipe is a guaranteed hit in your home!

Why you’ll love these no bake protein balls:

If my husbands comment didn’t convince you to give this recipe a try, then here are a few extra reasons why I think you’ll love these protein balls:

They’re high in protein: This recipe calls for 1/2 a cup of protein powder… and each protein ball will have around 8 to 12 grams of protein depending on how many you make from your dough! If you have been interested in making a biscoff dessert recipe with protein, this is the one for you.
No bake and only 4 ingredients: With minimal ingredients and no oven time required, you’ll have these protein balls prepped and ready for the refrigerator in under 10 minutes!
A satisfying sweet tooth snack: This recipe does call for a full cup of creamy biscoff… which adds all of the flavor but also adds added sugar. However, we have a good protein boost which makes this the perfect snack that will satisfy your sweet tooth but also nourish your body.
Tasty texture: Because these protein balls are made with almond flour, their texture is not as dense as a traditional oatmeal protein ball would be. The final texture should be pillowy soft and flakey!
Meal prep friendly: The longer these protein balls sit in your refrigerator, the better they get. That makes this recipe perfect for a meal prepped snack or healthy sweet tooth snack to have in your fridge!

Ingredients for biscoff protein balls:

For this recipe all you’ll need is:

Almond flour: You could also use oat flour. Only use a flour type that can be eaten raw.
Vanilla protein powder: I do recommend buying one that is vanilla flavored or swapping it for unflavored if you want to cut back on the sweetness. I used this whey protein powder.
Creamy biscoff: The key to making this recipe work is to microwave your creamy biscoff until it’s runny before you mix it with your other ingredients. This will help the almond flour and the protein powder stick together!
Lotus cookies: You’ll only need 4 to 5 cookies and honestly, these are optional because it really is just for the coating.

Just 4 ingredients and you'll have yourself the perfect high protein sweet tooth snack!

Step by Step Instructions:

Now let’s walk through how to make this recipe. All you’ll need is about 10 minutes for prep and then we will let the protein balls sit in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour, ideally overnight, before enjoying.

Here’s how you’ll make them:

1) Add your creamy biscoff to a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring often, until it is runny. Pour your warm biscoff into a medium sized bowl and add in your almond flour and protein powder.

2) Mix your ingredients until they reach a stick, combined consistency like this. The warmer your biscoff, the easier your dough will stick together.

3) Place your lotus cookies into a sealed ziplock bag and crush them until they are a fine powder. The finer your crush your cookies, the easier they will stick to the outside of your dough. Place your crushed cookies in a separate bowl.

4) Using your hands, roll the dough into equally sized 1 to 2 inch balls. Then, toss them in your crushed lotus cookies until the outside is evenly coated. You may need to wipe your hands off if they get too sticky and are making it hard to roll the protein balls.

Once done, refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour to let the dough set or ideally overnight.

5) After your protein balls have sat in the refrigerator, garnish with some melted creamy biscoff (optional). Store in an air tight container and enjoy throughout the week!

Swaps and substitutions:

These biscoff protein balls can be customized to your liking. You could try:

Changing your protein powder flavor: I recommend using vanilla or unflavored protein powder but you could certainly add in a protein powder that is cinnamon, chocolate, or another flavor that you think would pair well with biscoff flavors.
Adding extra nutrition: Stir in ingredients like hemp seeds, flax seeds, or dried fruit for an extra boost of healthy fats and antioxidants. If you choose to add extras, keep the portions small to ensure your dough will still stick together.
Mix in crushed cookies: If you prefer more of a crunch with your biscoff protein balls then you can add some crushed cookies to the dough itself.
Swap out the biscoff: While this recipe is for biscoff protein balls, you can certainly turn this recipe into peanut butter protein balls or almond butter protein balls by swapping out your creamy biscoff for an equal amount of peanut butter or almond butter.
