1. 1st you have to combine all the ingredients, peanut butter, protein powder, sweetener, and vanilla. Mix these ingredients in a food processor or blender and looks like soft dough.

(Notes: if you don’t like or don’t have protein powder, use almond flour or coconut flour for your keto diet.)

2. Then make some balls in 1-inch from that soft dough and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet or a plate. (If you see the dough is so soft add some protein powder or flour to make it a little bit tight. Or if so tight then you can use low-fat milk or dairy-free milk to make that dough soft and tender.)
