Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 23 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
  • 23 tablespoons almond butter or peanut butter (optional, for binding)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, protein powder, and lemon zest. Stir them together to evenly distribute the flavors.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the lemon juice, and if using, honey or maple syrup along with almond or peanut butter to the dry mix. Mix thoroughly until a sticky, dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture feels too dry, add a little more lemon juice or a splash of water.
  3. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them too much to maintain their texture and burst of flavor.
  4. Form Bites: Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them between your hands to form bite-sized balls.
  5. Chill: Place the formed bites on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best texture, but frozen can be used if thawed and drained well.
  • If you prefer vegan or plant-based, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • These bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  • Adjust the sweetness and lemon intensity to your taste by varying the amount of honey and lemon zest.
