Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons almond milk

Cinnamon-Sugar Coating

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sweetener (such as coconut sugar or erythritol)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well to ensure all dry components are evenly incorporated.
  2. Add the wet ingredients: Add almond butter, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until the mixture begins to come together into a dough.
  3. Adjust the consistency: If the dough feels too dry or crumbly, gradually add almond milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough becomes moldable and holds together.
  4. Shape the balls: Use a tablespoon to scoop portions of the dough, then roll each portion between your palms to form smooth, round balls. Continue until all the dough is used.
  5. Prepare the coating: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sweetener and ground cinnamon. Roll each protein ball gently in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to evenly coat them.
  6. Chill and enjoy: Place the coated protein balls on a tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer preservation.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter or another nut butter of your choice.
  • Maple syrup adds a richer flavor, but honey works equally well as a natural sweetener.
  • If you prefer a vegan version, make sure to use a plant-based protein powder and maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Feel free to customize the spice blend by adding a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger for extra warmth.
  • Rolling the balls in shredded coconut or crushed nuts is a tasty alternative to the cinnamon-sugar coating.
