These Birthday Cake Protein Balls are a quick, no-bake snack packed with wholesome ingredients and a fun cake batter flavor. Perfect for meal prep, they are energizing, portable, and lightly sweet with festive sprinkles.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup raw whole cashews
  • 1/4 cup shelled hemp seeds
  • 1/2 cup creamy cashew butter
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1/4 cup unflavored collagen powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp sprinkles, plus extra for rolling

Instructions

  1. Add oats, cashews, and hemp seeds to a food processor. Blend until a coarse, sand-like texture forms.
  2. Add cashew butter, maple syrup, collagen powder, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt. Blend just until the mixture forms a dough.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in the sprinkles until evenly distributed.
  4. Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion into 18 balls, rolling gently between your hands if needed.
  5. Roll or press the balls in extra sprinkles for a festive finish.
  6. Refrigerate until firm, then enjoy.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
  • Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw in the refrigerator before eating.
  • If the mixture is too dry, add a small amount of cashew butter or maple syrup.
  • If too sticky, chill briefly or mix in a bit more oats.
  • Almond or peanut butter can be used instead of cashew butter.
  • Use honey instead of maple syrup for a slightly different flavor.
