High Protein Gingerbread Protein Balls

High Protein Gingerbread Protein Balls

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Diet: High Protein, Gluten-Free, Vegetarian

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats (blended into flour or used whole for texture)
  • ½ cup vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • A pinch of salt
  • ½ cup creamy almond butter or cashew butter
  • 2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
  • 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1–2 tablespoons water (if needed for consistency)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oats, protein powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
  2. Add the almond butter, molasses, and honey to the dry mixture.
  3. Use a sturdy spatula or your hands to mix everything together. The dough should be thick and slightly tacky. If it is too crumbly, add water one tablespoon at a time until it holds together.
  4. Scoop about one tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it between your palms to form a smooth ball. Repeat until all the dough is used.
  5. Place the protein balls on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper.
  6. Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and for the flavors to meld together.
  7. Once firm, transfer them to an airtight container.
