Birthday Cake Protein Balls (No Bake, Funfetti Style)
High-protein cake batter bites with rainbow sprinkles, no baking required. Made with vanilla protein, almond flour, and maple syrup for a soft, chewy texture that hits the birthday cake craving.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla whey or casein protein powder (sweetened)
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles (plus extra for topping)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2-3 tbsp milk of choice (as needed for texture)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, coconut flour, and salt.
- Add almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and mix until mostly combined.
- Stir in sprinkles, then add 1 tbsp milk at a time until a soft dough forms.
- Roll into 12 balls (about 1 tbsp each).
- Optional: press extra sprinkles on top.
- Chill in fridge for 15–30 minutes to firm up before eating.
Notes
Pro Tip: If the dough feels too sticky, add a touch more coconut flour. Too dry? Add a splash of milk. You can also swap almond butter with cashew butter for a lighter “vanilla frosting” vibe.
