Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (chocolate or vanilla flavored)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)

Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, protein powder, and cocoa powder. Stir together until evenly mixed to ensure a uniform chocolate flavor throughout the bites.
  2. Add Nut Butter: Add the nut butter to the dry ingredients. Use a spoon or your hands to thoroughly mix until the mixture comes together into a sticky dough-like consistency.
  3. Form Bites: Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms to form bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Add Sprinkles: Roll each ball in the rainbow sprinkles, pressing gently to coat the surface and add a colorful, festive look.
  5. Chill to Set: Place the bites on a lined tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • For a softer texture, slightly warm the nut butter before mixing.
  • You can substitute the sprinkles with mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts if preferred.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Use gluten-free oats to make this recipe gluten-free.
