Biscoff Protein Balls

High in protein and high in carb, these little bites pack a nutritious punch!
Prep Time10 minutes
Course: Snack
Keyword: biscoff, oats, protein, protein powder
Servings: 46 balls

Ingredients

  • 100 grams rolled oats
  • 60 grams crushed biscoff cookies
  • 2 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 60 grams protein powder 2 scoops
  • 150 grams biscoff spread
  • 50 grams maple syrup or honey

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, biscoff crumbs, chia seeds, protein powder, biscoff spread, and maple syrup. Use a spatula or your hands to mix the ingredients thoroughly. The mixture should be sticky and hold together easily.
  • Take small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands. You can adjust the size based on your preference. I usually go for around golf ball size.
  • Place the energy bites in an airtight container and store them at room temperature.

Notes

Nutrition:
  • The whole bowl has 235 grams of carbs, and 74 grams of protein. So if you make 46 balls, each one has 5 grams of carbs and 1.6 grams of protein. To calculate the specific value, take the total (ex: 74 grams protein) and divide it by the number of balls you rolled. So if you rolled giant balls and made only 26 of them, they would each have 4 grams of protein (74/26=2.8). 
Shelf Life:
  • These energy bites can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to two weeks. 
  • If you want to extend their shelf life, consider freezing them. Place the bites on a tray in the freezer until firm, then transfer them to a freezer-friendly bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to two months.
Substitutions:
  • Protein Powder: Choose a protein powder flavour that complements the other ingredients. Vanilla or chocolate-flavoured protein powders work well in this recipe.
  • Maple Syrup: Honey or agave nectar can be used as substitutes for maple syrup. Adjust the quantity based on your desired sweetness level.
Customization:
  • Get creative with add-ins! Consider incorporating chopped nuts, dried fruits (like raisins or cranberries), or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavour.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup, depending on your taste preferences.
  • For a crunchy texture, you can use crunchy biscoff spread or add in crushed nuts.
Tips:
  • If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, add a bit more biscoff spread or maple syrup to help it bind together.
  • To make the rolling process easier and avoid sticky hands, lightly dampen your hands with water before shaping the mixture into balls.
