Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond butter (natural, unsweetened)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats

Extras

  • 2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles (plus extra for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the almond butter and maple syrup until fully combined and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing well to incorporate all flavors.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Mix in the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and rolled oats into the wet mixture. Stir until everything is well incorporated and a thick, moldable dough forms.
  3. Add the Sprinkles: Fold in the rainbow sprinkles evenly to ensure each bite has a colorful pop and a slight crunch.
  4. Roll Into Balls: Using your hands, scoop out 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the mixture and roll each into a ball. Place them on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the protein bites for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. For a faster setting time, place them in the freezer for about 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use natural, unsweetened almond butter to keep the recipe healthy.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey if preferred.
  • For a vegan version, ensure the protein powder is plant-based and use vegan-friendly sprinkles.
  • Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Optional: Add a sprinkle of extra rainbow sprinkles on top before chilling for a decorative touch.
