Sugar Cookie Protein Balls
These sugar cookie protein balls are the perfect festive snack! They’re soft, naturally sweetened and packed with 7 grams of protein each. Everything mixes together in one bowl, no baking required, and the sprinkles make them extra fun for the holidays.
Servings: 16 balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- 2 scoops (50-60g) vanilla protein powder I used Truvani
- 1 cup cashew butter I used Artisana
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1-2 Tablespoons almond milk if needed
- 2–3 Tablespoons holiday sprinkles I used Trader Joe's Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Add oat flour, protein powder, cashew butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond extract and salt to a medium mixing bowl. Stir to combine until a dough starts to form. If your mixture seems too dry, you can add almond milk, starting with 1 Tablespoon at a time. Stir in holiday sprinkles.
- Once combined, use a small cookie scoop to scoop and roll the dough into balls.
- Add additional sprinkles to a small bowl and roll protein balls into sprinkles, pressing them in slightly to help stick. You don’t want the balls to be covered, just enough to look festive.
- Chill for 15–20 minutes to set or enjoy right away.
Notes
- Texture will vary by protein powder: Every brand absorbs liquid differently. If your dough feels dry, add a splash of milk. If it feels too soft, add a little extra oat flour until it firms up.
- Storage: Keep these protein balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
