Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the wet mixture carefully to avoid crushing the berries, preserving their shape and texture.
- Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring thoroughly until a dough forms that is sticky but manageable.
- Shape the Bites: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls using your hands for an even shape.
- Chill to Set: Place the formed bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
- Store Properly: Transfer the bites into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze them for longer shelf life. Allow frozen bites to thaw slightly before serving.
Notes
- Substitute blueberries with raspberries, strawberries, or dried fruits like cranberries or apricots for variety.
- For a chocolate flavor, add mini dark chocolate chips or swirl in a teaspoon of cocoa powder.
- Use oat flour or sunflower seed flour instead of almond flour for a nut-free version.
- Add chia seeds or ground flaxseed to boost fiber content.
- To make vegan, replace cream cheese and Greek yogurt with dairy-free alternatives and use a plant-based protein powder.
- Keep bites refrigerated or frozen until ready to eat for freshness.
- Allow frozen bites to sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before consuming.
