Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 0.67 cup vegan protein powder
  • 0.25 cup freeze-dried strawberries
  • 2 tbsp crushed gluten-free graham crackers
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened coconut shavings

Wet Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup cashew butter
  • 0.25 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 3 tbsp agave syrup
  • 0.25 cup coconut yogurt

Flavorings

  • 0.5 tsp strawberry extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oat Flour: Add rolled oats to a food processor or blender and blend until it reaches a fine flour-like consistency, ensuring a smooth texture for your dough.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix the oat flour, vegan protein powder, cashew butter, melted coconut oil, agave syrup, freeze-dried strawberries, and strawberry extract thoroughly until a sticky and cohesive dough forms. Adjust the consistency by adding extra oat flour or cashew butter if needed.
  3. Chill Dough: Place the dough in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to firm up slightly, making it easier to roll into balls.
  4. Shape Balls: Using your hands, roll the chilled dough into 2-inch diameter balls, ensuring they are firm and uniformly shaped.
  5. Coat Balls: Optionally roll the balls in unsweetened coconut shavings, crushed gluten-free graham crackers, or coconut yogurt for an appealing coating and extra flavor.
  6. Final Chill: Place the finished protein balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until firm. Store them in the fridge or freezer for later enjoyment.
