Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons almond milk

Cinnamon-Sugar Coating

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sweetener (such as coconut sugar or erythritol)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined.
  2. Add the wet ingredients: Add the almond butter, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir well until the ingredients start to form a dough-like consistency.
  3. Adjust the consistency: If the dough feels too dry or crumbly, add almond milk one tablespoon at a time and mix until the dough becomes moldable but not sticky.
  4. Shape the balls: Using your hands or a scoop, take about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a smooth ball. Repeat this process until all dough is used, resulting in roughly 12-16 balls depending on size.
  5. Prepare the coating: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sweetener and ground cinnamon. Roll each protein ball in this mixture, ensuring each ball is evenly coated for that classic snickerdoodle flavor.
  6. Chill and enjoy: Place the coated balls on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer preservation.

Notes

  • You can substitute oat flour with gluten-free all-purpose flour if desired.
  • Maple syrup and honey are interchangeable based on dietary preferences.
  • Adjust cinnamon levels in the dough and coating to your taste preference for stronger or milder snickerdoodle flavor.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little extra oat flour or protein powder.
  • These protein balls are perfect for a pre- or post-workout snack or a healthy dessert alternative.
