Servings: 24 balls
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup cashew butter
- 2 scoops (50-60 grams) vanilla protein powder or cake batter protein powder
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup sprinkles of choice
Instructions
- Add rolled oats, cashew butter, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond extract and sea salt to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine until a dough starts to form. Getting the mixture to combine takes a little arm muscle and it may seem too thick at first, but it will come together as you keep mixing. I used my hands to knead the dough near the end and that seems to help. If your mixture seems too dry, you can add almond milk, starting with 1 Tablespoon.1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats, 1 cup cashew butter, 2 scoops (50-60 grams) vanilla protein powder or cake batter protein powder, ¼ cup maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla, ½ teaspoon almond extract, ¼ teaspoon salt
