Ingredients

Save

• 1 cup oats (quick-cooking or rolled)
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup nut butter (peanut, almond, or sunflower seed)
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
• A pinch of salt

Tools Needed

• Mixing bowl
• Rubber spatula or wooden spoon
• Measuring cups
• Baking sheet or plate
• Parchment paper (optional)

Suggested Substitutions and Additions

• Swap almond flour for coconut flour for a gluten-free version.
• Use agave syrup in place of honey for a vegan-friendly option.
• For a nut-free version, substitute nut butter with sunflower seed butter.
• Add 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips for an extra oomph of sweetness.
• Replace the sprinkles with dried fruit or coconut for a unique twist.

How to Make

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

Start by gathering your ingredients and tools. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix them together until they are fully blended. You’ll know it’s mixed well when the flour has no lumps and the oats and sugar are evenly distributed.

Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients

Next, add the nut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir it all together using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. You want to make sure every bit of the dry mixture is coated with the wet ingredients. You’ll know it’s ready when it becomes a sticky, dough-like consistency that holds together.

Step 3: Fold in the Rainbow Sprinkles

Now for the fun part! Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles into your cake batter mixture. The mixture will look cheerful and colorful, and you’ll feel the joy bubbling up inside. Feel free to sprinkle in a few extra sprinkles if you want.

Step 4: Form the Bites

Using your hands, take small sections of the mixture (about the size of a tablespoon) and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Keep rolling until all the mixture is formed into bites. It’s okay if some sprinkles fall off; just sprinkle them back on!

Step 5: Chill and Enjoy

Pop the baking sheet or plate into your refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to help the bites firm up. After chilling, they are ready to taste! You can serve them immediately or store them in the fridge for later.
