Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup raw cashews
- ¼ cup protein powder unflavored or vanilla
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup cashew butter
- 1 tablespoon almond milk more or less, depending on desired consistency
- cinnamon to taste
Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse the oats and raw cashews until they are broken into small pieces.
- Add the protein powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the food processor. Pulse to combine. Add your cashew butter and pulse until the mixture is a dough like consistency. If the mixture is too dry, add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time and pulse again. Place the mixture in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
- Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the dough for each protein bite. Gently squeeze the dough together and then roll into balls. Sprinkle cinnamon on each bite. Store these in the fridge for up to 7 days.
Notes
Collagen or plain casein are good protein options. You can also use vanilla protein powder.
If using flavored protein, you may have to use less maple syrup. Substitute cashew butter for maple syrup.
