Cinnamon Raisin Protein Balls
Cinnamon Raisin Protein Balls combine rolled oats, cashew butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, raisins, and a hint of cinnamon into small, no-bake bites. These balls involve mixing ingredients by hand until a doughy texture forms, then shaping into balls for a chewy, mildly sweet snack packed with protein and natural flavors. They're easy to store in the refrigerator or freezer for convenient grab-and-go nutrition.
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.
