Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats pulse in a blender for a finer texture, if desired
- 0.75 cup vanilla protein powder whey or plant-based
- 0.75 cup almond butter creamy, unsweetened
- 0.33 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup milk dairy or unsweetened almond milk; add as needed
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 0.25 cup coconut sugar for coating
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for coating
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, whisk the oats, protein powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir with a sturdy spoon until the mixture looks crumby and evenly moistened.
- Drizzle in the milk a little at a time, stirring until a soft dough forms that holds together when pressed.
- In a small bowl, mix the coconut sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon to make the coating.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough per ball and roll between your palms. Toss each ball in the cinnamon-sugar to coat.
- Chill for 15 minutes to set. Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
Notes
Swap almond butter with cashew or peanut butter if preferred. For a sweeter bite, add 0.25 cup white chocolate chips; for lower sugar, skip the coating and sweeten to taste. If the dough feels dry, add an extra splash of milk; if sticky, mix in 0.25 cup more oats.
