¾ cup rolled oats (use gluten-free oats if needed)
½ cup smooth almond butter
½ cup unsalted almonds
¼ cup raw honey (can sub pure maple syrup if vegan)
¼ cup vanilla vegan protein powder (I use Arbonnne)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons water
For the coating: 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder + 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Add oats, almond butter, almonds, honey, protein powder, cinnamon and vanilla to a food processor and process until mixture starts combing together, scraping sides of the bowl as needed. Add water and continue to process until mixture starts to stick together. Use a heaping tablespoon and roll into 1½ inch balls.
In a large zip lock bag combine 2 tablespoons of vanilla protein powder plus 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Add all the protein bites to the bag and gently toss until they are all covered with the cinnamon coating.
