Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1/3 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 scoop birthday cake protein powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sprinkles
- 1 to 2 tbsp hot water (as needed)
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a bowl. Mix with a spoon until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients and Form Dough: Incorporate the almond flour, protein powder, and salt into the wet mixture. Mix with your hands or a spoon until a dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add hot water one tablespoon at a time until it is moldable.
- Mix in Sprinkles and Shape Balls: Gently fold in the sprinkles to distribute them evenly. Then roll the dough into 16 evenly sized balls. Refrigerate to firm up or enjoy immediately as a nutritious snack.
Notes
- You can store these protein balls in the refrigerator for up to a week to keep them fresh.
- Adjust maple syrup amount if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet snack.
- Use any flavor of protein powder as a substitution if birthday cake flavor isn’t available.
- For a nut-free option, substitute almond butter and almond flour with seed butter and flour alternatives.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder for a flavor twist.
