Description
High Protein Peppermint Patties are creamy, chocolate-coated treats with a refreshing peppermint center and a healthy protein boost. Perfect for holidays, snacks, or post-workout fuel, they’re indulgent yet nourishing.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peppermint-flavored protein powder (or vanilla/neutral with peppermint extract)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt
- 2–4 tbsp coconut flour or almond flour
- 1/4–1/2 tsp pure peppermint extract (adjust to taste)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 1–2 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
- Optional toppings: crushed peppermint candy, unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
In a bowl, mix protein powder, yogurt, flour, peppermint extract, and salt until a firm dough forms. Adjust with more flour or yogurt for the right consistency.
- Scoop 1–1.5 tbsp portions, roll into balls, and flatten into patties.
- Place patties on a parchment-lined tray and chill for 10 minutes.
- Melt chocolate (and coconut oil, if using) over low heat or in short microwave bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each patty into the chocolate to fully or partially coat. Tap off excess.
- Optional: sprinkle with crushed peppermint or dust with cocoa powder.
- Return patties to the tray and chill until chocolate is set (10–15 minutes).
- Serve immediately or store in fridge or freezer.
Notes
- If dough is too sticky, add flour one teaspoon at a time.
- For keto-friendly patties, use low-carb protein powder and unsweetened yogurt or nut butter.
- Tempering chocolate can prevent cracking, but chilling works fine for most home versions.
- Experiment with extracts like orange or raspberry for flavor twists.
