Sugar Cookie Protein Bites

Little protein bites with the flavors of the classic Christmas cookie.

Ingredients

  • 14 g butter, melted and slightly cooled (1 tablespoon)
  • 45 g Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk Protein Mix (scant half cup)
  • 16 g vanilla protein powder (1/2 scoop- I used PE science gourmet vanilla)
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 20 g granulated sugar, or sugar substitute of your choice
  • 30 g almond milk
  • 4 g Sprinkles of choice

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine slightly cooled melted butter, protein pancake mix, protein powder, almond extract, granulated sugar, and 1 T of almond milk (about 15 g). Mix until completely combined. Slowly add in a few grams of almond milk at a time, mixing well following each addition, until the consistency of the dough resembled playdough. I used about 30 grams total of almond milk.
    Note: If you add too much almond milk, simply add in additional protein pancake mix and sugar to help thicken the mixture.
  • Once the dough has reached the proper texture, divide the dough into 5 equal portions and then roll them into balls. Garnish the cookie dough bites with the sprinkles (about a gram per bite). Enjoy and refrigerate any leftovers. They will get firmer in the refrigerator, so if you would like them to be softer after you have refrigerated them, they can be left out at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying.
