Chocolate Almond Butter Protein Balls

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1/4 cup rice flour
• 2 squares semisweet chocolate
• 1/2 cup sesame seeds
• 1 cup almond butter
• 1/3 cup hemp seeds
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Melt coconut oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add rice flour; cook and stir until toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chocolate and stir until just melted. Remove from heat.
2. Place sesame seeds in a small soup bowl.
3. Place almond butter, hemp seeds, cocoa powder, protein powder, honey, and salt in another bowl. Stir with a stiff silicone spatula. Add the rice flour mixture and stir to combine.
4. Measure out about 16 balls using a small ice cream scoop or 2 tablespoons. Roll between palms to shape balls; roll in the bowl of sesame seeds to coat. Roll again to secure the seeds. Place balls in a baking dish and cover with plastic wrap.
5. Refrigerate until firm, 2 to 4 hours. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
