Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup vanilla or apple pie-flavored protein powder

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup diced dried apples (or fresh, if preferred)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional, for added texture and nutrition)

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, protein powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the applesauce, maple syrup (or honey), and chia seeds (if using).

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is combined and forms a thick dough. If the mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon of water or almond milk as needed.

        Add Mix-ins: Fold in the diced dried apples and chopped nuts (if using) to the dough. Ensure they are evenly distributed.

          Form Bites: Using your hands, scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat this process until all the dough is used; you should have about 12-15 bites.

            Chill: Place the protein bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

              Enjoy: After chilling, your Sweet Apple Pie Protein Bites are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
