Ingredients
  

For the Bites
  • 1 cup almond flour Provides structure and a nutty flavor; substitute with oat flour for a nut-free version.
  • ½ cup oat flour Adds a wholesome, chewy texture; effortlessly make your own by blending rolled oats.
  • 1 scoop vanilla plant protein powder Boosts protein content; you can swap it with almond flour while adjusting sweetness with extra maple syrup.
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax Adds fiber and binds the ingredients together; chia seeds are a great alternative if desired.
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup A natural sweetener that adds moisture; feel free to use honey for a non-vegan option.
  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder Infuses a distinct green tea flavor; omit for a classic cookie dough taste or swap with cocoa powder for chocolate protein bites.
Optional Coating
  • 1 cup shredded coconut Roll the bites in this for added texture and sweetness.
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chunks Toss in for a decadent twist.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, oat flour, vanilla plant protein powder, ground flax, and matcha powder. Use a whisk to blend these dry ingredients thoroughly.
  2. Drizzle in pure maple syrup to the dry mixture and mix with a spatula until it comes together into a sticky dough.
  3. If the dough seems too dry, add water gradually until the desired sticky texture is achieved.
  4. Scoop out small portions of the dough and shape them into bite-sized balls, about one inch in diameter. Place these bites onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Refrigerate the protein bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. For an extra touch, roll the chilled bites in shredded coconut or sprinkle them with crushed dark chocolate.
  7. Store any leftover bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
