Cinnamon Raisin Protein Balls
Description
The Cinnamon Raisin Protein Balls recipe uses rolled oats and cashew butter as a base, delivering both texture and nutty richness. Honey adds sweetness while vanilla protein powder boosts the protein content with a complementary flavor. Raisins and cinnamon introduce natural sweetness and warmth, making these balls flavorful yet balanced. Mixing by hand helps the ingredients bind effectively into a dough that you shape into bite-sized balls.
The resulting balls have a chewy, satisfying texture with a mild sweetness that comes from the raisins and honey, layered with the warm spice of cinnamon. They do not require baking and can be stored chilled to maintain their shape and freshness. These protein balls are practical as a quick snack or pre-workout energizer.
They can be stored in a covered container either in the refrigerator or freezer, making them convenient for storing in batches and ready to eat as needed. Ingredient substitutions such as different nut butters or dried fruits are possible, which can slightly change the texture and flavor but maintain the basic preparation method.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats old fashioned
- 1 cup cashew butter
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 coops protein powder 50-60 grams, vanilla
- 2 Tablespoons raisins
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Place oats, cashew butter, honey, protein powder, raisins and cinnamon in a large bowl and stir to combine.
- Getting the mixture to combine takes a little arm muscle and it may seem a little crumbly at first, but it will come together as you keep mixing. I used my hands to knead the dough near the end and that seems to help.
- Once combined, use a small cookie scoop to scoop and form the dough into balls.
- Store in a covered container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Maple syrup can be used in place of honey as a liquid sweetener.
- You can substitute cashew butter with almond butter, peanut butter, tahini, or sunflower seed butter depending on preference or availability.
- Vanilla protein powder is recommended to pair well with the flavors, but other types and flavors can be used according to your choice.
- Raisins can be swapped for other dried fruits like cranberries or dates, and you may add extras like shredded coconut, chocolate chips, cacao nibs, chopped nuts, or chia seeds for variety.
