Birthday Cake Protein Balls (8.5g Protein & Ready in 10 Minutes!)
These birthday cake protein balls taste just like funfetti cake batter — made with 6 simple ingredients in one bowl with no baking required. 8.5 grams of protein per ball and ready in 10 minutes.
Equipment
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup honey
- ¼ teaspoon pure almond extract
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup creamy natural almond butter or cashew or peanut butter
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder
- 3 tablespoons sprinkles
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, almond extract, vanilla extract, and almond butter until smooth and combined.
- Stir in the vanilla protein powder and sprinkles. Mix until a thick dough forms — switch to your hands if needed.
- Scoop the dough in 1½ tablespoon increments and roll into balls.
- Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
Notes
- Don't skip almond extract — it's the secret to the birthday cake flavor.
- Room-temperature nut butter — cold nut butter makes mixing difficult. Let it sit out or microwave for 15 seconds until smooth and drippy.
- Too dry? Add honey 1 teaspoon at a time. Too wet? Add protein powder 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Nut-free — use sunflower seed butter.
- Storage — refrigerate for 7 days, freeze up to 2 months.
