Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Binding Agents
  • 1/4 cup Ground Flax Provides binding and a nutty flavor.
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 Tablespoon Water To activate the flax.
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup Oat Flour
  • 1 cup Old-Fashioned Oats
  • 1/4 cup Vanilla Protein Powder (vegan)
  • 1 Tablespoon Brewer's Yeast Supports lactation.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Cashew Butter Should be pliable and spreadable for best results.
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup Provides sweetness and moisture.
  • 1 teaspoon Almond Extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
Finishing Touch
  • 1/4 cup Sprinkles To add color and fun!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, mix together ground flax and water, and let sit for at least 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, combine oat flour, old-fashioned oats, vegan protein powder, brewer's yeast, cashew butter, maple syrup, almond extract, vanilla extract, and the flax mixture. Mix until evenly combined.
Forming the Bites
  1. Use a 1 and 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the mixture and roll into balls.
Serving
  1. Arrange them on a small plate lined with parchment; let a few stray sprinkles fall like confetti. Serve at room temperature.
Storage
  1. Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7–10 days. For longer keeping, freeze in a single layer on a tray, then transfer to a sealed bag for up to 3 months.

Notes

For extra tenderness, pulse the oats once in a food processor for a finer crumb without becoming flour. If the mixture is crumbly, press it firmly in the scoop before rolling; warmth from your hands will help the fats coalesce.
