Description
These protein-packed oat dough balls are a perfect snack for any time of the day!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup cashew butter
- 2 scoops (50-60 grams) vanilla protein powder or cake batter protein powder
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup sprinkles of choice
Instructions
- Add rolled oats, cashew butter, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond extract and sea salt to a 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.
- Stir in sprinkles.
- Once combined, use a small cookie scoop to scoop and roll the dough into balls.
- Chill for 15–20 minutes to set or enjoy right away.
Notes
- This dough can be adjusted for consistency with a bit of almond milk if it’s too dry.
- Feel free to use any type of protein powder you prefer.
