Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Blend rolled oats into a fine powder. In a large bowl, combine powdered oats, almond flour, ground flaxseed, protein powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.
  2. Combine Wet and Dry: Add almond butter and maple syrup to the dry ingredients. Stir until crumbly.

  4. Form and Coat Bites: Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Mix powdered sugar and cinnamon for coating. Roll each bite in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  5. Chill: Place coated bites on parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Prepare Glaze: Whisk together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and almond milk (start with 1 tsp, add more for desired consistency) until smooth.
