Instructions:
Start by placing a large mixing bowl on your working surface. This bowl will be used to combine all the ingredients.
Add 1 tbsp of cinnamon, 2 scoops of whey protein powder, 2 cups of almond flour, and 3/4 cup of multi-grain oatmeal into the mixing bowl. Stir these dry ingredients together until thoroughly combined.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, slightly warm up 1/4 cup of honey and 1/4 cup of peanut butter in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds. This will make them easier to mix.
Pour the warm honey and peanut butter into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract as well.
Using a spatula or a spoon, stir all the ingredients together until you get a consistent and sticky dough-like mixture. Ensure that the honey and peanut butter are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. With clean hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into small, bite-sized balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter). Place each bite onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate the protein bites for at least 30 minutes. This will help them to firm up and hold their shape.
Once the bites are firm, you can transfer them to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Tips:
- Use a food processor to mix the ingredients thoroughly for a smoother texture.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before shaping into bites. This helps the mixture firm up, making it easier to handle.
- Store the protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or in the freezer for up to a month.
- Feel free to customize by adding ingredients such as chia seeds, flax seeds, or mini dark chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of water or a bit more honey or peanut butter to reach the desired consistency.
These cinnamon vanilla breakfast protein bites are easy to make and store, ensuring you always have a healthy snack or breakfast option on hand. Enjoy the combination of flavors and the energy-boosting benefits these bites provide, setting a positive tone for your day.
