Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
- 1 3/4 cups oat flour (or make your own by grinding oats in the food processor)
- 1/2 cup vanilla plant-based protein powder*
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup creamy cashew butter or almond butter (the drippy kind)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup shredded carrot
Instructions
- Place raisins in a bowl. Cover with warm water and let them soak to plump up. Shred carrots (I use the shredding attachment on my food processor.)
- Place oat flour, protein powder, coconut, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Drain raisins thoroughly. Add almond butter, almond milk, maple syrup, carrot and drained raisins. Using clean hands, stir mixture until fully combined. Add a splash more almond milk necessary.
- Roll into 20 balls. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator or freezer for optimal texture.
Notes
*if you use collagen peptides, omit the almond milk and only add if needed. Protein powders vary but peptides absorb less than vegan protein powders.
