Instructions:

1. Prepare a Mixing Bowl:
Start by placing a large mixing bowl on your working surface. This bowl will be used to combine all the ingredients.

2. Combine Dry 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.

3. Add Wet Ingredients:
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.

4. Mix Thoroughly:
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.

5. Form the Bites:
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.

6. Chill:
Refrigerate the protein bites for at least 30 minutes. This will help them to firm up and hold their shape.

7. Store:
Once the bites are firm, you can transfer them to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

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.
