Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup plant protein powder I like this one
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg optional
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 3/4 cup dried blueberries
  • 2 TBS chia seeds
  • 2/3 cup natural nut or seed butter I love cashew here!
  • 1/4 cup raw honey or brown rice syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3-4 TBS non-dairy milk*

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl add oats, protein powder, spices, coconut flakes, dried blueberries and chia seeds; stir until combined.
  2. In a small bowl stir together nut butter, honey and vanilla extract. Use microwave to melt nut butter and sticky sweetener together if necessary.
  3. Add nut butter mixture to your bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently with sturdy spatula until mixture comes together. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until fully combined. Use your hands if necessary to ensure everything is well coated and combined. Let dough ball mixture sit in fridge for 20-30 minutes for easier ball making.
  4. Once set, using a rounded tablespoon scoop dough and roll into balls. You should get about 24 balls. Store balls in airtight container in the fridge up to 2 weeks, or store in freezer for a longer period of time, about 1-2 months if stored properly.

Notes

  • -Depending on your protein mixture, I suggest adding milk one tablespoon at a time, until mixture is only slightly wet, but thick.
