Description

A no-bake snack inspired by birthday cake—chewy protein balls with sprinkles, vanilla & almond flavor.


Ingredients

  • Vanilla protein powder
  • Oat flour
  • Cashew or almond butter
  • Honey or maple syrup
  • Vanilla extract
  • Almond extract
  • Rainbow sprinkles
  • Salt
  • Milk of choice

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: combine vanilla protein powder, oat flour, and salt in a large bowl until smooth.
  2. Add wet ingredients: stir in nut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract until a thick dough forms.
  3. Add milk gradually, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough is soft, rollable, tacky but not sticky.
  4. Fold in rainbow sprinkles gently so the colours remain vibrant.
  5. Roll into balls: scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll between your hands into balls, placing on a parchment-lined plate.
  6. Chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Enjoy!

Notes

  • To make gluten-free: use gluten-free oat flour.
  • To make nut-free: replace the nut butter with sunflower seed butter or other seed butter.
  • Try variations: add mini white chocolate chips, coconut flakes, or use funfetti or chocolate protein powder.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months. Let sit a few minutes at room temperature before eating.
