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
Add-ins
- 2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles (plus extra for topping, optional)
- 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 and mix well.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Mix in the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and rolled oats. Stir until everything is well incorporated, forming a thick, moldable dough.
- Add the Sprinkles: Fold in the rainbow sprinkles evenly so that each bite has a pop of color and crunch.
- Roll Into Balls: Using your hands, scoop out 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the mixture and roll into balls. Place them on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the bites to firm up. For a quicker set, place them in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Notes
- Use natural, unsweetened almond butter to keep the bites healthy.
- Maple syrup can be replaced with honey for a different flavor profile.
- These bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for longer storage.
- Add extra sprinkles on top before chilling for a decorative touch.
- For a vegan version, ensure the protein powder and sprinkles are plant-based.
