Ingredients
Protein Ball Ingredients
- 1 Cup Cashew Butter (store bought or homemade)
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 1-2 Scoops Vanilla or Cake Batter Protein Powder
- 1/3 Cup Oat Flour (made by blending oats)
- 1/4 teaspoon Almond Extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 3 Tablespoons Sprinkles (such as jimmies and nonpareils, plus extra for rolling)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the cashew butter, honey, vanilla or cake batter protein powder, oat flour, almond extract, vanilla extract, and 3 tablespoons of sprinkles. Use a wooden spoon to stir until all ingredients are well incorporated into a thick dough.
- Form Balls: Using your hands, shape the mixture into small, bite-sized balls. The dough should be firm enough to roll without sticking excessively to your fingers.
- Roll in Sprinkles: Roll each ball in additional sprinkles to coat them evenly, adding a colorful and festive touch to each bite.
- Store Properly: Place the protein balls in an airtight container and refrigerate them. Keep chilled until ready to enjoy for optimal freshness and texture.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of protein powder from 1 to 2 scoops based on your protein needs.
- If oat flour is not available, you can make it by blending rolled oats until fine.
- Store protein balls in the refrigerator for up to one week for best quality.
- For a nut-free version, substitute cashew butter with sunflower seed butter and ensure protein powder is allergen-free.
- If you want a sweeter treat, add an extra tablespoon of honey.
