A delicious, slightly sweet, gluten-free and protein packed treat that tastes just like a snickerdoodle cookie. Dip in white candy melts and add sprinkles and you have a festive, fun and healthish gluten-free treat for the holidays.

These easy to make, no-bake gluten-free snickerdoodle protein balls are made with cashew butter, almond flour, coconut oil, cinnamon and vanilla protein powder. We all want sweet teats during the holidays, so I created a healthier protein ball dipped in candy melts for you to enjoy.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED:

• Almond Flour
• Vanilla Protein Powder
• Cashew Butter
• Vanilla
• Cinnamon
• Coconut Oil
• Honey
• Coconut Sugar

To make the gluten-free protein balls you add all the ingredients into a food processor and process until it is combined. Use a small ice cream scoop to drop balls onto a small cookie sheet. Roll each ball with your hands and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. Roll each ball in coconut sugar and cinnamon or melt white candy melts and dip each ball in it. Sprinkle white or Christmas sprinkles over each one and place back in the fridge for 30 minutes. Store in the fridge and enjoy!

I have quite a few energy balls on my blog. Try my no-bake nut and seed balls, date cookies, nutella balls, holiday bliss bites and no-bake peanut butter balls. My holiday bliss bites are a healthier version of truffles and are made with sunflower, pumpkin and flax seeds, chocolate protein powder, peanut butter and more. I like to roll them in Suncore super color powders which come in the brightest of colors and are actually good for you.

Gluten-free snickerdoodle protein balls are perfect for the holiday season. I like to add a few to my cookie boxes which i hand out as food gifts to family and friends. I have turned a snickerdoodle cookie into a healthyish protein-filled gluten-free treat, and I know everyone will love them.

HOW TO MAKE THE BALLS:

1. In a food processor add all the ingredients except the coconut sugar and process until it all combines. It should stick together nicely.
2. Use a small ice cream scoop to drop balls onto a small cookie sheet. Use your hands to form each one into a ball and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
3. Remove and roll in a coconut sugar and cinnamon or melt white candy melts and dip each ball in and then sprinkle holiday sprinkles on top.
4. Place back in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

If you are looking for a healthier treat for the holidays season these gluten-free snickerdoodle protein balls will do the trick. Soft and slightly sweet on the inside, with a delightful candy coating on the outside.

Whip up these protein balls together with just 7 ingredients and most can be found in your pantry. If you do not have cashew butter on hand you can use almond flour. It does have a stronger flavour though then the cashew butter.

No-bake gluten-free snickerdoodle protein balls are full of nutritious ingredients and make the perfect bite to satisfy your sweet tooth during the holidays. All you need is a food processor to make them-dump everything in and give it a whirl. Dip in melted candy wafers and you have a protein-filled healthyish gluten-free treat.
