A delightful no-bake protein snack that captures the essence of a festive birthday celebration, perfect for a healthy treat or post-workout energy boost.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup oats (gluten-free if necessary)
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup sprinkles
1/2 cup nut butter (like almond or peanut butter)
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, and sprinkles. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, mix together the nut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or your hands until well combined.
If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of water or more honey. Conversely, if it’s too sticky, add a bit more almond flour.
Once combined, use your hands to roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Once all the mixture is rolled into balls, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
After chilling, enjoy your Birthday Cake Protein Balls right away or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
