Healthy Cinnamon Roll Protein Bites: Easy Snack & Breakfast Idea

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine dry ingredients.
2. 2

   Add 1/4 cup almond butter, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tbsp almond milk, and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the dry mix. Mix with a sturdy spoon or hands until a thick, cohesive dough forms. Add more almond milk 1 tsp at a time if too dry, or a bit more oat flour if too sticky.
3. 3

   In a separate small bowl, combine 2 tbsp almond butter, 1 tbsp maple syrup, and 1 tbsp ground cinnamon. Mix until a smooth, spreadable paste forms. Stir in coconut flour if using, to thicken.
4. 4

   Turn the dough base onto a piece of parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment over it and roll into a rough rectangle, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Spread the cinnamon swirl filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
5. 5

   Carefully roll the dough from one long side to the other, creating a tight log. Wrap the log tightly in parchment paper or plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
6. 6

   Once chilled, unwrap the log and slice into 12-16 even bites, about 3/4 inch thick. Arrange on a plate or in an airtight container.
7. 7

   For the glaze (optional): Whisk together powdered erythritol, 1-2 tsp almond milk, and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the protein bites before serving.
