# What You’ll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 cup oat flour, certified gluten-free
02 - 1/2 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder
03 - 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

→ Wet Ingredients

# Method:

01 - Whisk together oat flour, protein powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl until evenly distributed.
02 - Add almond butter, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract to dry mixture. Stir vigorously with a spatula until a thick, cohesive dough forms.

05 - Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized portions or consume directly from bowl as preferred.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent enough to feel like a treat but packed with protein so you're actually nourishing yourself.
  • No baking required, which means zero kitchen stress and instant gratification.
  • Customizable to whatever dietary needs or flavor cravings you're having that day.
02 -
  • Don't skip whisking the dry ingredients together or you'll end up with pockets of protein powder that taste chalky and ruin an otherwise perfect bite.
  • The dough thickens as it sits, so if you make it ahead, you might need to add a splash more milk before eating it the next day.
03 -
  • Use a cookie scoop if you have one, because it makes portioning effortless and every ball comes out the same size, which feels oddly satisfying.
  • Keep the dough slightly softer than you think you need, because it firms up in the fridge and becomes the perfect consistency for snacking straight from the container.
