Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oat Flour: Add the rolled oats to a food processor or blender and blend until it forms a fine flour consistency.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, vegan protein powder, cashew butter, melted coconut oil, agave syrup, freeze-dried strawberries, and strawberry extract if using. Mix thoroughly until a sticky dough forms. Adjust the consistency by adding extra oat flour if too wet or more cashew butter if too dry.
  3. Chill Dough: Place the dough in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to firm up slightly, making it easier to roll.
  4. Form Balls: Using your hands, roll the chilled dough into approximately 2-inch balls.
  5. Coat Balls (Optional): Optionally, roll each ball in unsweetened coconut shavings, crushed gluten-free graham crackers, or a light coating of coconut yogurt to add extra flavor and texture.
  6. Final Chill: Place the finished protein balls on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until firm before serving. Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer for best freshness.

Notes

  • For a firmer texture, chill the protein balls longer before serving.
  • You can substitute cashew butter with almond or peanut butter if preferred.
  • Freeze-dried strawberries provide intense strawberry flavor without adding moisture; avoid fresh strawberries.
  • These protein balls are vegan and gluten-free; ensure the protein powder and graham crackers comply with these if buying pre-packaged.
  • Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of agave syrup.
  • Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.
