These bite-sized balls bring the coffee and cocoa pairing of tiramisu into a snack with no added sugar. Banana adds sweetness and moisture, while oats and psyllium hold the dough together. A filling, easy treat that is made for sharing.
Method
Break the banana into pieces and mash it well in a bowl.
Add the ground oats, protein powder, psyllium husk, ricotta or labneh, salt and coffee.
Knead by hand until you have a smooth dough.
Pinch off small pieces of dough and roll them into balls.
Roll each ball in the cocoa powder until fully coated.
Chill them in the fridge for a while before serving so they firm up.
If you like, mix the labneh with vanilla sweetener and a splash of milk and serve it alongside.
