Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Mix Base Ingredients: Combine peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) in a microwave-safe bowl and warm for 20-30 seconds until soft and easy to stir.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Fold in protein powder, salt, and extract until a thick dough forms.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of milk; if too wet, add more protein powder.
  4. Incorporate Sprinkles: Gently fold in sprinkles ensuring even distribution without breaking them.
  5. Shape Balls: Use a cookie scoop to portion out dough and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
