Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 cup almond flour, and 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder. Stir until well mixed, ensuring no clumps remain — this should take about 1 minute.
  2. In another bowl, mix 1/4 cup softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup), and a pinch of salt. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which should take about 2 minutes. Make sure there are no lumps!
  3. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries into the cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula to avoid crushing the berries — this step should take about a minute.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients from the first bowl to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix; this should take about 1-2 minutes. You want to achieve a thick dough-like consistency.
  5. Scoop out portions of the mixture using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop. Roll each portion into a ball about the size of a golf ball. This should yield about 12 bites; set them aside on a clean plate as you go.
  6. Place the rolled bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure to space them slightly apart to prevent sticking during refrigeration.
  7. Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes. This allows them to firm up and develop their flavors. They should feel slightly firm to the touch when ready.

Keywords: Be sure to use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps in your mixture. If it’s cold, it won’t blend well, leading to a less creamy texture. A common mistake is overmixing the dough; stir just until combined for the best texture.
