Soft vanilla protein balls with birthday cake flavor, rainbow sprinkles, and wholesome ingredients. Ready in 15 minutes.

# What You Need:

01 - 1 cup vanilla protein powder

02 - 1 cup oat flour (certified gluten-free if needed)

03 - 2 tablespoons coconut flour

04 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

05 - 1/2 cup natural almond butter or cashew butter

06 - 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together the protein powder, oat flour, coconut flour, and sea salt until thoroughly blended.

02 - Add the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir until a crumbly dough forms throughout.

03 - Gradually add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough becomes firm yet pliable and holds its shape when pressed.

04 - Gently fold in the sprinkles until evenly distributed without crushing them.

05 - Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Optionally roll each ball in extra sprinkles for decorative coating.

06 - Arrange balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.

02 -

Coconut flour is thirsty and different brands absorb liquid differently, so always add milk gradually
If your dough feels too sticky to roll, pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes before shaping
Some protein powders are grittier than others, so letting the balls sit overnight improves the texture significantly

03 -

Let the dough rest for 10 minutes after mixing, as the coconut flour continues absorbing liquid and the texture improves
Warm the almond butter slightly in the microwave for 10 seconds if it is too stiff to mix smoothly
