Cake Batter Protein Bites

I’m not a big cake fan, but in college, it was a tradition to make funfetti box cake for birthdays.

These cake batter protein bites are reminiscent of my funfetti days, only they are filled with good-for-you ingredients and no sugar rush. Best of all, healthy cake batter bites require no baking and are made with 6 real food ingredients.

These cake batter bites are high in protein and healthy fats which make them a filling snack that satisfies your sweet tooth.

• Cake batter protein bites are vegan, grain-free, and gluten-free
• They are secretly healthy and low in sugar
• Refined sugar-free
• They taste super indulgent

• High protein and high fiber protein bites

• Oats: a complex carb that is high in soluble fiber, can aid in weight loss, and lower blood sugar levels
• Almond flour: a grain-free and gluten-free flour that is higher in protein and fiber
• Shredded coconut: use unsweetened shredded coconut
• Cashew butter: Made with natural cashew butter the only ingredients are cashews and salt
• Protein: For a protein boost use vanilla protein and collagen peptides
• Honey: an unrefined sweetener you can also substitute for maple syrup
• Rainbow sprinkles: I like to use rainbow sprinkles that are dye free
• Almond extract: just a little to get the true funfetti flavor
• Vanilla extract: just a little get that funfetti flavor
• Sea salt: Helps to bring out all the flavors  

• Healthy Protein Bites can be in the blender as well. Add oats, almond flour, coconut flakes, and protein to a blender and blend to fine flour. Add to a bowl and  stir in cashew butter and honey
• Don’t have almond extract? Just use an extra 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 
• You can substitute cashew butter with almond butter
• Make it vegan by using maple syrup or another liquid sweetener
• Don’t have collage peptides or vegan? Use 1-2 extra tablespoons of vanilla protein 

• Protein PB&J Bites
• Salted caramel cookie dough protein bites
