Method
 

  1. Begin by crushing your Lotus Biscoff cookies into a fine crumb. You can do this by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin, or by using a food processor until you achieve a sand-like consistency. Measure out 1 cup of these fine crumbs.

  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the 1 cup of finely crushed Biscoff cookies, 1 scoop of vanilla or unflavoured protein powder, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure the protein powder is evenly distributed and there are no clumps.

  3. Add the 2 tablespoons of smooth almond butter to the dry ingredients. This will act as a binder and contribute to the creamy texture.

  4. Add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened almond milk to the bowl. Stir everything together with a spoon or spatula. The mixture should start to come together into a sticky dough. If the mixture feels too dry and crumbly and isn't holding its shape, add another 1/2 tablespoon of almond milk, or more, a tiny bit at a time, until it reaches a consistency where you can easily roll it into balls. Be careful not to add too much liquid, as this can make the balls too sticky.

  5. If you prefer a sweeter treat, you can add 1-2 teaspoons of sugar-free sweetener at this stage. Mix well and taste the dough to see if it meets your sweetness preference. Adjust as needed.

  6. Once the dough is well-combined and has the right consistency, it's time to roll. Take small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them between your palms to form compact balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
  7. For an extra burst of Biscoff flavour and texture, you can lightly roll each protein ball in the optional finely chopped Biscoff cookies. This adds a delightful crunch and visual appeal.

  8. Place the formed protein balls on a plate or in a container lined with parchment paper. Transfer them to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and set. This step is crucial for achieving the best texture.
