Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (120g) vanilla protein powder (plant-based or whey-based)
- 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
- ½ cup (130g) almond butter
- ¼ cup (85g) honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (30g) mini rainbow sprinkles
- 2–3 tablespoons (30-45ml) unsweetened almond milk
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup (120g) vanilla protein powder, 1 cup (90g) rolled oats, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to mix evenly.
- Add wet ingredients: Add ½ cup (130g) almond butter, ¼ cup (85g) honey or maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir slowly until the mixture starts to come together.
- Adjust consistency: Pour in almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition until a dough-like texture forms that holds when pressed but isn’t sticky.
- Fold in sprinkles: Gently fold ¼ cup (30g) mini rainbow sprinkles into the mixture without overmixing to avoid color bleeding.
- Shape the balls: Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons (20g) of dough and roll between palms into balls. Place on a baking sheet or plate. Repeat until all dough is used (about 15-18 balls).
- Chill to set: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the balls. Alternatively, freeze for 15 minutes if in a rush.
- Enjoy or store: Once chilled, eat immediately or store in an airtight container.
Notes
Mix dry ingredients first to avoid clumps. Add almond milk gradually to control dough consistency. Wet hands slightly when rolling to prevent sticking. Chill dough before rolling if kitchen is warm. Avoid overmixing sprinkles to prevent color bleeding. Adjust almond butter or honey if balls fall apart.
