Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/4 cup sunflower seed butter (or other nut/seed butter)
- 1/2 cup sugar-free maple syrup
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 96-130 g vanilla casein protein powder*
- 1.5 tbsp apple pie spice mix
- 2-4 tbsp brown sugar substitute (optional)**
- salt to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the seed butter, sugar-free maple syrup and unsweetened apple sauce. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir to incorporate the ingredients.
- Add 96 grams (approximately 3 scoops) of vanilla casein powder and the apple pie spice mix to the bowl and stir until incorporated. IF the mixture seems to dry, continue to add additional casein protein powder until it is no longer sticky. Taste the mixture and add additional sweetener and/or salt to suit your taste. Knead the ingredients into the dough and place the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm.
- Remove the bowl from the fridge and using a small cookie scoop, scoop the protein bites and roll them between the palms of your hands to form nice and tight bites. Repeat with remaining dough (I ended up with 14 bites total).
- Optional - If desired, dust a little powdered sweetener or additional vanilla protein powder on your palms and roll the bites one more time in the sweetener/protein powder.
- Store bites in the fridge.
