Instructions

How to Make Irresistible Delicious Cinnamon Roll Protein Bites

In a large bowl, mix together almond butter, pure maple syrup, vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, rolled oats, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until a thick, cohesive batter forms.
Line a baking sheet with wax paper for easy cleanup. Use a mini cookie scoop to create uniform balls of the mixture. Smooth them with your hands for a nicely rounded shape.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the formed bites, decorating each one with a generous swirl. Get creative and make them as drizzled or drippy as your heart desires!
Refrigerate the baking sheet for about an hour. This will allow the bites to firm up and reach a delightful texture for snacking.
Once chilled, transfer the bites to an airtight container. You can store them in the fridge for up to a week or freeze them for longer-lasting enjoyment.

Notes

Optional: Drizzle extra melted chocolate on top before serving for an extra touch of indulgence! Mix dry first for better texture, scoop evenly for consistency, and chill appropriately for the best firmness.
