Snickerdoodle Protein Balls
#1 favorite protein ball recipe that the girls at the gym absolutely love! And rightfully so because who doesn’t love the flavor combinations of cinnamon and sugar?!
Cinnamon and sugar are what makes a snickerdoodle, but that doesn’t mean we have to stick to the traditional unhealthy, sugar filled dessert.
Because these snickerdoodle protein balls are good for you! Not only are they made with natural sweeteners like pure maple syrup and coated with coconut sugar but they are also gluten-free, dairy free and filled with lofts of healthy fats, flavor and protein.
Satisfy your sweet tooth with snickerdoodle protein balls - A no-bake, healthy treat that will keep you full!

Servings: 40 balls | Prep: 5 MIN | Cook time: NA
Ingredients
3 cups oats (or oat flour)
1 cup vanilla protein powder
½ cup pure maple syrup
1 ½ cup nut butter
½ cup coconut oil
2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp sea salt
Cinnamon sugar coating (optional)
¼ cup coconut sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
To a food processor, (if not using oat flour), add oats to the processor and blend on high until oats have turned into oat flour. Add all of the ingredients, except cinnamon sugar coating, and blend on high until completely incorporated.
If its too dry, add more honey or water and if it’s too wet, add 1 tbsp increments of oat flour.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scooper, form into balls and place on a plate.
If making the cinnamon sugar coating, add both ingredients in a small bowl and toss until incorporated. Add 3-4 balls in the cinnamon sugar mix and roll each ball around until fully coated.
Store in an airtight container for up to one week or in the freezer for up to a month.
