Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

1 cup almond butter (natural, unsweetened)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Dry Ingredients

1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
1/2 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1/2 cup rolled oats

Extras

2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles (plus extra for topping, optional)

Instructions

Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the almond butter and maple syrup until fully combined and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing thoroughly.
Add Dry Ingredients: Mix in the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and rolled oats. Stir until everything is well incorporated and the mixture forms a thick, moldable dough.
Add the Sprinkles: Fold in the rainbow sprinkles evenly to distribute color and crunch throughout the dough.
Roll Into Balls: Using your hands, scoop out 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into bite-sized balls. Place them on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper.
Chill: Refrigerate the protein bites for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. For faster setting, place them in the freezer for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

You can customize the protein powder to your preference (whey, plant-based, etc.).
For a nut-free version, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter.
Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Add a pinch of espresso powder for a mocha flavor twist.
Use gluten-free oats to make the recipe gluten-free.
