Birthday cake protein truffles! Yep, birthday cake in the form of a truffle. It’s basically like portable birthday cake right? I love truffles, and these definitely confirm that love.
The base of these truffles largely comes from peanut flour. It is a great base for truffles because of the tasty peanut butter flavor, texture, and low calories. I also added a bit of coconut flour to help absorb moisture and give it a thick cooke-dough like texture.
For the protein powder, I used casein. Casein works well because it absorbs moisture. I wouldn’t recommend using whey, as whey will make it a really stick batter and won’t give the same consistency as casein. In this one, I used Ascent vanilla casein.
One of the best parts about this recipes is that these birthday cake protein truffles can be made from start to finish in about 10-15 minutes. Just blend all the ingredients up in a food processor. Roll into truffles, and enjoy! No baking necessary!
