Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup vanilla whey or casein protein powder
- 1/2 cup oat flour (or finely ground rolled oats)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup or honey
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup vanilla or unflavored collagen peptides (optional, for extra protein)
- 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles (ensure they are safe for your diet)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine the protein powder, oat flour, collagen (if using), and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix well with a spatula until a thick dough forms.
- Fold in the rainbow sprinkles gently to distribute them evenly.
- If the dough seems too dry, add almond milk, one teaspoon at a time, until it holds together. If it is too sticky, add a tablespoon of extra protein powder.
- Place the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up slightly.
- Scoop the mixture using a small cookie scoop or roll into 1-inch balls using your hands.
- Store the finished protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- For a lower carb option, substitute the maple syrup with a zero-calorie liquid sweetener like monk fruit or stevia drops, adjusting to taste.
- If you want a richer flavor, use cashew butter instead of coconut oil.
- These are excellent for meal prep and make great muscle building snacks for post-workout recovery.
