Low FODMAP Chocolate Protein Bliss Balls

Low FODMAP Chocolate Protein Bliss Balls

The perfect Low FODMAP snack doesn't just exist — you can make it in 15 minutes with no oven required. These chocolate protein bliss balls are dense, fudgy, and deeply chocolatey, built around That Protein Double Choc Chip Porridge, a FODMAP Friendly certified plant protein blend. Roll up a batch on the weekend and you'll have a gut-friendly, high-protein snack waiting for you every time a craving strikes.

Why Bliss Balls Are the Ultimate Low FODMAP Snack

Most shop-bought protein balls contain dates (high in fructose), honey in large quantities, or chicory root fibre — all common FODMAP triggers. Making your own puts you in full control. These bliss balls use maple syrup in small amounts, oat flour, and That Protein's FODMAP Friendly certified porridge as the protein base. The result is a snack that satisfies sweet cravings, delivers genuine protein, and fits confidently within a Low FODMAP diet. No baking, no fancy equipment — just a bowl, a spoon, and your hands.

Ingredients (makes 12 balls)

  • 4 tbsp That Protein Double Choc Chip Porridge
  • 100g rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 3 tbsp natural peanut butter or sunflower seed butter
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2–4 tbsp plant milk (to bind, as needed)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Optional Coatings

  • Cocoa powder (for a classic dusty finish)
  • Desiccated coconut (Low FODMAP at 2 tbsp per serving)
  • Crushed pumpkin seeds

Method

  1. Add the rolled oats to a blender or food processor and pulse briefly to break them down slightly — you want a rough flour-like texture, not a fine powder. A few larger pieces add great texture.
  2. Tip the blended oats into a large mixing bowl. Add the Double Choc Chip Porridge, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Stir to combine.
  3. Add the peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything starts to clump together.
  4. If the mixture feels too dry to roll, add plant milk one tablespoon at a time until the mixture holds together when pressed in your palm.
  5. Refrigerate the mixture for 10 minutes — this makes rolling much easier.
  6. Roll into 12 even balls (roughly the size of a large marble). Roll in your chosen coating if using.
  7. Place on a lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or freeze for up to one month.

Nutritional Note

Each bliss ball provides approximately 5–6g of protein and around 120 kcal, making them an ideal between-meal snack that won't spike your blood sugar or upset your gut. The combination of oats, plant protein, and healthy fats from the nut butter creates a genuinely satisfying snack that keeps you going between meals.
