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

Add-ins

  • 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 and mix well.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the Sprinkles: Fold in the rainbow sprinkles evenly so that each bite has a pop of color and crunch.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
