INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Grind
up your oats or cereal in a food processor and transfer into a mixing bowl.
This is optional. You can keep them whole as well and adjust the addition of
honey.
2. Add
your almond meal, protein powder, cinnamon, and nut butter. Stir ingredients
all together.
3.
Alternatively
(you can blend all at once by placing ingredients (minus the honey) in the food
processor or blender and blend until a mealy batter is formed. Scrap sides and
transfer to bowl (see blog post pictures).
4.
Add
in your honey and vanilla then mix again well with hands.
5.
You
might need to add more honey or nut butter if the batter gets to dry. (see
notes)
6. Roll
into 1-1.5 inch balls and place on a cookie tray or plastic ware with parchment
paper underneath.
7.
Let
them freeze for 20-30 minutes then transfer into a Ziploc bag.
8.
Dust
with additional cinnamon and vanilla protein if desired.
9.
Keep
in fridge or freezer for up to 6 weeks.
NOTES
1. Don’t
have protein powder? You can substitute with peanut flour or Oat flour (but
will need to add a little vanilla) or if you would prefer a paleo friendly
protein, then Egg white protein or Collagen Protein Powder will do the trick!
2.
You
might need to add more honey or nut butter if the batter gets to dry. It
depends on the types of protein and flour you use, adjust as you mix, before
rolling.
