  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats, blended into powder (50g)
  • 1 cup Almond Flour (96g)
  • 2 tbsp Ground Flaxseed (14g)
  • 1/4 cup Vanilla Protein Powder (30g)
  • 1/4 cup Almond Butter (60g)
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup (30ml)
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon (5g)
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg (1g)
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (60ml)

For the Cinnamon Coating:

  • 2 tbsp Powdered Sugar (16g)
  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon (5g)

For the Glaze:

  • 2 tbsp Cream Cheese or Dairy-free Alternative (30g)
  • 3 tbsp Powdered Sugar (24g)
  • 1–2 tsp Unsweetened Almond Milk (5-10ml)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Blend rolled oats into a fine powder. In a large bowl, combine powdered oats, almond flour, ground flaxseed, protein powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.
  2. Combine Wet and Dry: Add almond butter and maple syrup to the dry ingredients. Stir until crumbly.
  3. Add Almond Milk: Gradually add almond milk, 1 tbsp at a time, mixing until a sticky but firm dough forms. Adjust with more almond flour or milk as needed.
  4. Form and Coat Bites: Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Mix powdered sugar and cinnamon for coating. Roll each bite in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  5. Chill: Place coated bites on parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Prepare Glaze: Whisk together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and almond milk (start with 1 tsp, add more for desired consistency) until smooth.
  7. Decorate and Serve: Drizzle glaze over chilled bites. Serve immediately or store in the fridge.
