Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/2 cup creamy unsalted almond butter
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup vanilla or cinnamon roll flavored protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk of choice (if needed)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine oats, protein powder, cinnamon, and sea salt. Mix well with a fork.
  2. Add almond butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  3. Mix with hands until a thick, uniform dough forms. If too dry, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until pliable.
  4. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll firmly between palms to form a ball. Repeat with remaining dough.
  5. Optional: Drizzle with a mix of 2 tbsp Greek yogurt, 1 tsp maple syrup, and vanilla for extra flavor.
  6. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to firm up, then enjoy.

Notes

For nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter. For vegan option, use maple syrup and plant-based protein powder. Dampen hands with water if dough sticks while rolling. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
