Ingredients
  

For the Batter

  • 1/3 cup Honey or maple syrup Maple syrup for vegan alternative.
  • 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder Adjust sweetness with more syrup if using unsweetened powder.
  • 1/4 cup Rainbow sprinkles Ensure they are gluten-free if necessary.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor balance.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla or almond extract Almond extract amplifies boxed-mix flavor.
Optional Toppings
  • 1/4 cup Extra sprinkles For rolling the balls.
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut flour Use to adjust texture if mixture is too wet.

Equipment

  • microwave-safe bowl
  • spatula
  • Cookie Scoop
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the natural creamy peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup). Heat for 20–30 seconds until warm and slightly softened. Stir until smooth.
  2. Add the vanilla protein powder, salt, and either vanilla or almond extract to your peanut butter mixture. Stir until a thick dough forms, resembling cake batter.
  3. If the dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of almond milk. If too wet, incorporate more protein powder or coconut flour for a firm yet moldable dough.
  4. Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, ensuring they remain vibrant. Combine carefully to maintain their cheerful look.
  5. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, roll portions of dough into bite-sized balls by hand. Optionally, roll in extra sprinkles.
  6. Place the shaped protein balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
