Makes: 18 – 22 Teaspoon-Sized Bites

Oatmeal Cookie Protein Bites are an irresistible treat! You can eat these healthy, dairy-free treats for breakfast, as a snack, or even for dessert.

For this recipe, we like to use our unsweetened walnut milk to really give it that oatmeal cookie flavor, but feel free to make it your own and sub in any other plant milk of your choice!

Ingredients:

  • • ¼ cup Elmhurst Unsweetened Milked Walnuts, or plant milk of choice
  • • 1 ½ cups Rolled Oats
  • • 1 Tbsp Chia Seeds
  • • ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • • ½ cup Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder
  • • ¼ cup Natural Peanut Butter
  • • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • • 1/3 cup Raisins or 3 pitted Dates
  • • Optional - Maple Syrup or Blue Agave, to taste

Extra Mix-In Ideas: Dried cherries, dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, shredded coconut

Instructions:

  1. In a food processor combine oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and protein powder until well combined.
  2. Add peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract and raisins and pulse until incorporated, but mixture is still slightly crumbly.
  3. Slowly add in Elmhurst unsweetened walnut milk and stir until incorporated
  4. Roll the mixture into 18 teaspoon sized balls. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes or leave in the fridge to firm up and enjoy!
