Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup protein powder (vanilla flavor recommended)
- a pinch salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened (Can substitute with plant-based cream cheese if dairy-free)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain flavor)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (Adjust according to sweetness preference)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- ½ cup fresh blueberries (Gently fold into the mixture)
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather all your ingredients and soften the cream cheese to room temperature to make mixing easier.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, and salt. Add the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and form a thick batter.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries to the mixture with care, avoiding mashing them to keep the texture.
- Form Bites: Using your hands, scoop approximately a tablespoon-sized portion of the mixture at a time. Roll each portion into a ball shape and place it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Continue until all the mixture is used.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes. This chilling step allows the protein bites to firm up and hold their shape.
- Serve: Once chilled and set, your blueberry cheesecake protein bites are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with a plant-based alternative and use dairy-free yogurt.
- Adjust the sweetness by using more or less honey or maple syrup according to your taste.
- These bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Use vanilla-flavored protein powder to enhance the flavor and maintain sweetness balance.
- Handle blueberries gently to avoid breaking them, ensuring appealing texture and appearance.
