Description
Delicious no-bake protein balls that capture the classic flavor of vanilla birthday cake, packed with protein and colorful sprinkles for a fun, healthy snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Vanilla protein powder (use whey or plant-based)
- 1 cup Oat flour (can be swapped with almond flour for a grain-free version)
- 1/2 cup Cashew or almond butter (sunflower butter works for a nut-free option)
- 1/4 cup Honey or maple syrup (maple syrup makes it vegan-friendly)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1/2 cup Rainbow sprinkles (choose naturally colored or vegan sprinkles if needed)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3–4 tablespoons Milk of choice (any plant or dairy milk works)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the vanilla protein powder, oat flour, and salt. Whisk until smooth and lump-free.
2. Mix in the cashew or almond butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir until a thick dough forms.
3. Pour in milk a tablespoon at a time, mixing, until the dough is soft and rollable, tacky, but not sticky.
4. Gently stir in rainbow sprinkles, being careful not to overmix so the colors stay vibrant.
5. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll between your hands to form balls. Set on a parchment-lined plate.
6. Place the plate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up the texture.
7. Enjoy as a snack, share, or pack for later, no fork needed!
Notes
For best texture, chill before serving. You can freeze half for convenient grab-and-go snacks. Customize flavors with mini white chocolate chips or coconut flakes.
