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… which was incredibly convenient for me.

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 and have 8 grams of protein!

With a base of almond flour, these protein balls also have a pillowy soft texture that is a fun switch up from traditional oatmeal protein balls. If you prefer a denser protein ball then you should try my medjool date protein balls that have a salted caramel flavor or my 3 ingredient peanut butter oatmeal balls.

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

Ingredients for biscoff protein balls:

For this recipe all you’ll need is:

Almond flour: You could also use oat flour if you didn’t want an almond flour protein balls. Only use a flour type that can be eaten raw because remember, this is a no bake recipe.
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 but also keeps these protein balls nut free.
Lotus cookies: You’ll only need 4 to 5 cookies and honestly, these are optional because it really is just for the coating.
Optional milk: As mentioned, these almond flour protein balls have a unique, sandy like texture that is a fun switch up from traditional oatmeal protein balls. If you want the texture to feel slightly more hydrated, you can add 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk of choice to hydrate your dough slightly.

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 protein ball 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 that resembles wet sand. The warmer your biscoff, the easier your dough will stick together. If you prefer a more hydrated dough, add milk to your dough.

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 and press the dough into equally sized 1 to 2 inch balls. The dough may feel dry but that is normal! 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, place your biscoff protein balls into a glass container. Warm 1 to 2 tablespoons of creamy biscoff in a bowl until runny then use a spoon to drizzle the biscoff overtop each protein ball. Refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour to let the dough fully set, ideally overnight.

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 (making it a nut free protein ball), 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.
