Ingredients
- 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)
- 2 tbsp Powdered Sugar (16g)
- 1 tbsp Cinnamon (5g)
- 2 tbsp Cream Cheese or Dairy-free Alternative (30g)
- 3 tbsp Powdered Sugar (24g)
- 1-2 tsp Unsweetened Almond Milk (5-10ml)
Instructions
- Blend the rolled oats into a fine powder. In a large bowl, combine the powdered oats, almond flour, ground flaxseed, protein powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.
- Add almond butter and maple syrup to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture looks crumbly.
- Gradually add almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until a sticky but firm dough forms. Adjust the texture with more almond flour or almond milk as needed.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. In a separate bowl, mix powdered sugar and cinnamon to make your coating. Roll each bite in this cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Place the coated bites on parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
- In a bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and almond milk, starting with 1 teaspoon. Add more almond milk if necessary to get your desired glaze consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the chilled bites. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for later.
Notes
Adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup or powdered sugar if desired. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
