Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter Substitute with sunflower seed butter for nut-free option.
  • 1/4 cup Honey Use maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • 1 cup Vanilla Protein Powder Plant-based protein powder works well as a substitute.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup peanut butter and 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup. Microwave on high for 20-30 seconds until warm and smooth.
  2. Add 1 cup vanilla protein powder to the melted mixture and fold it in until a dough starts to form. Gradually stir in a tablespoon of milk or water if the mixture is too dry.
  3. Fold in 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles gently to avoid bleeding colors. Mix until just incorporated.
  4. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls; expect about 12-15 balls.
  5. Place the rolled balls onto a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
  6. Once chilled, your Birthday Cake Batter Protein Balls are ready to enjoy or store in an airtight container.
