Ingredients:

1.50 cups multi-grain oatmeal

120g

1/4 cup coconut oil

55g

2 tsp sugar

1 tsp turmeric powder

2.20g

1 tsp ginger

1.80g

1/2 tsp red pepper (spice)

0.90g

1 tsp cinnamon

2.60g

1/2 cup applesauce

120g

1 tsp vanilla extract

4.20g

1/4 cup almond butter

60g

1/4 cup honey

88g

1/3 tbsp almond milk

4.95g

Instructions:

1. Prep Your Ingredients: Begin by measuring all your ingredients accurately. Set them aside to ensure a smooth mixing process.

2. Get Your Oatmeal Ready: Place the 1.5 cups of multi-grain oatmeal in a mixing bowl. Ensure that the oatmeal is evenly distributed.

3. Melt the Coconut Oil: In a small saucepan, melt the 1/4 cup of coconut oil over low heat until it is completely liquefied. Alternatively, you can microwave it in a microwave-safe bowl for about 20-30 seconds.

4. Mix the Dry Spices: In a separate small bowl, combine 2 tsp of sugar, 1 tsp of turmeric powder, 1 tsp of ginger powder, 1/2 tsp of red pepper, and 1 tsp of cinnamon. Mix them well to ensure even distribution.

5. Combine Oatmeal and Spices: Add the mixed spices to the bowl of oatmeal. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure that the spices coat the oatmeal evenly.

6. Add Wet Ingredients: To the oatmeal mixture, add 1/2 cup of applesauce and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Stir to combine.

7. Integrate the Coconut Oil: Pour the melted coconut oil into the mixture. Stir well until all the oatmeal is coated.

8. Add the Nut Butter and Honey: Add 1/4 cup of almond butter and 1/4 cup of honey to the mixture. Stir until everything is well combined and you achieve a thick, cohesive consistency.

9. Final Touch with Almond Milk: Add 1/3 tbsp of almond milk to help bind the ingredients together, making the mixture more pliable and easier to form into bites.

10. Shape the Bites: Line a baking sheet or a large plate with parchment paper. Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on the prepared sheet or plate.

11. Chill to Set: Place the bites in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set and firm up.

12. Serve: Once set, your Golden Milk Protein Bites are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Tips:

- For added texture and flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or dried fruit to the mixture.

- Make sure to thoroughly mix the ingredients to ensure even distribution of spices and sweetness.

- If you prefer a firmer bite, refrigerate the mixture for an hour before shaping into bites.

- Store the protein bites in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh for up to a week.

- Feel free to adjust the level of spices according to your taste preference.

Enjoy your homemade golden milk protein bites as a healthy snack any time of day. Not only are they packed with nutrients, but they also offer a delightful blend of flavors and spices that will keep you coming back for more.
