Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats Provides structure and fiber; quick oats can be used but may alter texture slightly.
  • 1/2 cup Almond Flour Adds healthy fats and a nutty flavor; can swap with oat flour for a nut-free option.
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder Acts as the primary source of protein; use any protein powder flavor or brand as desired.
For the Cream Mixture
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Contributes creaminess and richness; substitute with dairy-free cream cheese for a vegan version.
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt Boosts protein content and adds moisture; use dairy-free yogurt if needed.
  • 1/4 cup Honey or Maple Syrup Provides sweetness; agave syrup can be used for a vegan option.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Enhances overall flavor; no substitutions generally needed.
  • 1 pinch Salt Balances sweetness; it’s necessary for flavor.
For the Surprise Element
  • 1 cup Blueberries Adds natural sweetness and antioxidants; can be substituted with raspberries or dried fruits like cranberries.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add rolled oats, almond flour, and vanilla protein powder. Stir these dry ingredients together until evenly mixed, ensuring there are no clumps.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat the mixture with a hand mixer or whisk until it's smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries into the cream mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to crush the berries; you're aiming for a beautiful swirl of color.
  4. Gradually combine the dry ingredients from Step 1 with the cream mixture. Stir until a cohesive dough forms, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls between your hands.
  6. Arrange the rolled bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet, placing them at least an inch apart. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Transfer your chilled Blueberry Cheesecake Protein Bites to an airtight container. Store them in the fridge for up to one week.
