These healthy birthday cake protein balls are a quick, no-bake snack that tastes like a party in your mouth. Packed with protein, fiber, and good fats, they are perfect for meal prep and a guilt-free treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (50g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 cup (120g) almond butter
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, coconut flour, and salt. Stir with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  2. Add the wet ingredients: Pour in the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until a thick dough forms. If too dry, add a teaspoon of water; if too sticky, add more oats or coconut flour.
  3. Fold in the sprinkles: Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles (and white chocolate chips if using) until just distributed.
  4. Chill the dough (optional): If the dough is too soft, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Roll into balls: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into smooth balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You should get 14-16 balls.
  6. Chill to set: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  7. Store and enjoy: Transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Use room temperature almond butter for easier mixing. Do not overmix sprinkles to avoid color bleeding. Wet hands with water if dough sticks. These taste better the next day after flavors meld.
