Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1 cup oats (rolled or quick oats)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons sweetener (such as honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the protein powder, oats, and ground cinnamon. Add the nut butter and sweetener, then stir everything together using a spoon or your hands until the mixture is evenly combined and sticky enough to hold its shape.
  2. Form into Bites: Using your hands, shape the mixture into small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the formed bites onto a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the formed bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Once chilled, enjoy as a convenient and nutritious snack.

Notes

  • If the mixture is too dry, add a little extra nut butter or a splash of water to help it bind.
  • You can substitute the sweetener with your preferred type, such as stevia or a sugar-free syrup, to reduce sugar content.
  • Store the protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a crunchy texture, you can toast the oats lightly before mixing.
  • Feel free to add mix-ins like raisins, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.
