Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond flour

  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until the mixture forms a thick dough.
  4. Step 4: Carefully fold in the blueberries, being gentle if using fresh berries to avoid breaking them too much.
  5. Step 5: Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them between your hands to form bite-sized balls.
  6. Step 6: Place the bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • For a nut-free version, substitute almond flour with oat flour or sunflower seed flour.
  • Use frozen blueberries to keep the bites cool, but thaw slightly for easier mixing.
  • Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or lemon zest for extra flavor.
  • If the mixture feels too dry, add a splash of milk or extra Greek yogurt to help bind it.

Storage

Store the protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw in the fridge before eating. No reheating needed—enjoy them cold for the best texture.
