Equipment
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
- Add the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a bowl. Mix with a spoon until smooth and well-combined.
- Add in the almond flour, protein powder, and salt. Mix with your hands (or a spoon) until your form a dough. If it's too dry, add 1 tablespoon of hot water at a time until the dough is moldable.
- Fold in the sprinkles, then roll the dough into 16 balls. Refrigerate or enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Place the dough in the fridge to allow it to firm up for easier handling. And if it's sticky, wet your hands a bit before rolling the dough into bite-sized balls.
- Got a food processor? Use it to mix the ingredients for this birthday cake protein balls recipe! However, you still want to fold in the sprinkles yourself or you'll end up with weird colors on your dough.
- Save time and effort by making birthday cake protein bars instead of balls! Press the mixture into a baking dish, allow it to harden in the fridge, then cut into bars.
