Ingredients
1 cup oat flour
½ cup vanilla protein powder
2 tablespoons almond butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt
Optional: 1–2 tablespoons almond milk
For the cinnamon‑sugar coating:
2 tablespoons granulated sweetener (e.g., coconut sugar or erythritol)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the oat flour, protein powder, ground cinnamon, and sea salt.
- Add the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until a dough forms.
- If the dough is too dry, add almond milk one tablespoon at a time until it's moldable.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls using your hands.
- In a small bowl, mix the sweetener and cinnamon for the coating.
- Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up before serving.
Notes
Swap almond butter with peanut butter for a richer taste.
Mix in mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture.
Use maple syrup and plant-based protein for a vegan version.
Add ground flax or chia seeds to boost fiber content.
A pinch of nutmeg adds extra spice for a festive variation.
Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
