Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (dairy or plant-based)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla protein powder and oat flour to ensure even distribution.
- Stir in the almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix well until a dough starts to form.
- Add a splash of milk, one teaspoon at a time, until the dough is soft and holds together when pressed.
- Gently fold in the sprinkles, being careful not to overmix to avoid color bleeding.
- Using your hands or a cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll into bite-sized balls, about 1-inch in diameter.
- Place the protein balls on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Serve chilled or pack them for an on-the-go snack.
Notes
If the dough feels too sticky, add more oat flour. If it’s too dry, add another splash of milk. Rolling the balls is a fun activity for kids.
