Description
Cinnamon Roll Protein Bites are a delightful fusion of cinnamon roll flavors and protein-rich ingredients, providing a nutritious snack that satisfies cravings.
Ingredients
- 2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup almond flour or oat flour
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup nut butter (almond, cashew, peanut, or sunflower seed)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup almond milk (as needed)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, almond or oat flour, ground cinnamon, chia seeds, and salt.
2. Stir in the nut butter, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Gradually add almond milk as needed until the mixture holds together well.
3. Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls and place them on a lined tray or plate.
4. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to help the bites firm up before serving.
5. (Optional) Prepare a cream cheese glaze by mixing softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Drizzle over the chilled protein bites.
Notes
For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup and use dairy-free cream cheese for the glaze.
Experiment with different nut butters or add-ins like chopped nuts or dried fruit for variety.
