Description
Delicious and nutritious protein balls made with rolled oats, cashew butter, and a touch of sweetness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup oat flour
- 2 scoops (50-60g) vanilla protein powder (I used Truvani)
- 1 cup cashew butter (I used Artisana)
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of sea salt
- 2–4 Tablespoons almond milk (if needed)
- 1 Tablespoon coconut sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Add rolled oats, oat flour, protein powder, cashew butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt to a medium mixing bowl. Stir to combine until a dough starts to form. Getting the mixture to combine takes a little arm muscle and it may seem too thick at first, but it will come together as you keep mixing. I used my hands to knead the dough near the end and that seems to help. If your mixture seems too dry, you can add almond milk, starting with 1 Tablespoon at a time.
- Once combined, use a small cookie scoop to scoop and roll the dough into balls.
- Mix coconut sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and roll protein balls into cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
- Chill for 15–20 minutes to set or enjoy right away.
Notes
- These protein balls make for a great snack or post-workout fuel.
- Store in the refrigerator for easy access.
