Deliciously spiced gingerbread protein snacks that are perfect for a healthy, energizing treat any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons water (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and vanilla protein powder.
  2. Add the ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  3. In a separate small bowl, stir together almond butter, molasses, and honey until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until a sticky dough forms. If too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time to reach desired consistency.
  5. Using your hands, form the dough into small bite-sized balls or bars.
  6. Place the formed snacks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  7. Store the snacks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

For added crunch, mix in chopped nuts or seeds before forming the snacks. These also freeze well for longer storage.
