Cake Batter Protein Balls: An Amazing Ultimate Snack Recipe


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 cup rolled oats
– 1/2 cup nut butter (e.g., almond butter or peanut butter)
– 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
– 1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla or cake batter flavor recommended)
– 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional, for that extra fun factor)
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 2–3 tablespoons milk (any type, as needed)


Instructions

Preparing your Cake Batter Protein Balls is easy and enjoyable. Follow these steps to create your tasty treats:

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, protein powder, and salt until well combined.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the nut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy.
3. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until everything is fully incorporated.
4. Add Sprinkles: If you’re using sprinkles, fold them into the mixture gently, ensuring they’re spread evenly.
5. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture feels too dry, add milk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is achieved. It should be sticky, but manageable.
6. Shape the Balls: Use your hands to form small peanut-sized balls from the mixture. A cookie scoop can also come in handy for this step.
7. Chill: Place the formed protein balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let them firm up.
8. Store: Once chilled, transfer the balls to an airtight container. Enjoy them within a week or freeze for later use!

Follow these steps to enjoy a delicious and healthy snack that feels like indulging in dessert!
