These salted caramel snickerdoodle protein balls bring cinnamon-cookie flavor to an easy no-bake snack. Keep a batch chilled for grab-and-go treats.
A QUICK NOTE
Protein powders and nut butters absorb liquid differently. Start with ¼ cup honey or maple syrup, add more only if the mixture is too dry, and use extra protein powder if it feels sticky.
INGREDIENTS
¾ cup oat flour
½ cup vanilla protein powder
½ cup salted caramel chips
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, plus more for topping
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼–½ cup honey or sugar-free maple syrup
½ cup nut butter of choice
DIRECTIONS
1. In a large bowl, stir together the oat flour, protein powder, caramel chips, cinnamon, and sea salt.
2. Add the nut butter, vanilla, and ¼ cup honey or maple syrup. Mix well, using clean hands if needed. Add more sweetener if the mixture is too dry, or a little additional protein powder if it is too sticky.
3. Roll the mixture into bite-size balls and sprinkle with additional cinnamon if desired.
4. Refrigerate until slightly firm. Store covered in the refrigerator and enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
