SNICKERDOODLE PROTEIN BALLS
PAM EIKE shared this at our FALL 2018 Canmore retreat.
1 1/2 cup oat flour gluten free (ground up oats)
2 tsp each chia, hemp and flax (ground)
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon ( I used had cinnamon, half gingerbread spice from Epicure)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup maple syrup
3/4 cup nut butter (or sunflower seed butter)
1/4 cup coconut oil room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
In the bowl of the processor, add all of the ingredients. Blend on high until completely incorporated, about 1 minute. If too wet add more oat flour a tablespoon at a time. If it's too dry add more nut/seed butter. Once complete, place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
Once chilled, form into 1 Tbsp balls and place on a baking sheet.
Optional: cinnamon sugar coating, Add 1/4 cup sugar alternative (xylitol) & 1 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl and toss together. Roll each protein ball into the mixture to coat well. Store in an air tight container for up to one week or in the freezer for up to one month.
**** I don't think they need to be rolled in ANYTHING! They are awesome without.
