Equipment

  • blender
  • large bowl
  • Parchment paper
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

For the Bites

  • ½ cup Rolled Oats, blended into powder 50g
  • 1 cup Almond Flour 96g
  • 2 tablespoon Ground Flaxseed 14g
  • ¼ cup Vanilla Protein Powder 30g
  • ¼ cup Almond Butter 60g
  • 2 tablespoon Maple Syrup 30ml
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon 5g
  • ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg 1g
  • ¼ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk 60ml

For the Cinnamon Coating

  • 2 tablespoon Powdered Sugar 16g
  • 1 tablespoon Cinnamon 5g

For the Glaze

  • 2 tablespoon Cream Cheese or Dairy-free Alternative 30g
  • 3 tablespoon Powdered Sugar 24g
  • 1–2 teaspoon Unsweetened Almond Milk 5-10ml

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • 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.
  • Add almond butter and maple syrup to the dry ingredients. Stir until crumbly.
  • Gradually add almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until a sticky but firm dough forms. Adjust with more almond flour or milk as needed.
  • Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Mix powdered sugar and cinnamon for coating. Roll each bite in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Place coated bites on parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Whisk together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and almond milk (start with 1 tsp, add more for desired consistency) until smooth.
  • Drizzle glaze over chilled bites. Serve immediately or store in the fridge.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, use a plant-based cream cheese. You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter or cashew butter for a different flavor. Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup as desired.
