These Biscoff protein balls are about to become your favorite snack for busy mornings or afternoon cravings. Packed with wholesome rolled oats, protein powder, and a bit of Biscoff for that signature caramel flavor, these little bites are my secret weapon when I need a sweet treat that keeps me full.

The first time I made these, my kitchen smelled like cookie heaven. Now I keep a batch in my fridge for those days when I am racing out the door with no time for breakfast.

Ingredients

  • Biscoff spread: adds amazing caramelized cookie flavor Use the creamy kind for easier mixing and a smoother finish
  • Vanilla protein powder: boosts the protein content and helps bind the mixture Look for a brand with a mild flavor that blends well with sweets
  • Rolled oats: give structure and a bit of chewy texture Quick oats are fine too but I love the heartiness of traditional rolled oats
  • Honey: acts as the natural sweetener and helps everything stick together Choose a honey with a gentle floral flavor for best results
  • Mini chocolate chips: add bites of chocolate throughout I go for mini chips so each ball has a few in every bite
  • Almond milk: helps moisten and bind the mixture Unsweetened almond milk keeps the recipe lighter

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep the Oats:
Add the rolled oats to a food processor or blender and pulse until finely ground Almost like flour but with a bit of texture left This gives each bite a soft base
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl stir together the ground oats and vanilla protein powder until fully blended This even mixing helps your protein balls hold together well later
Add Wet Ingredients:
Pour the Biscoff spread and honey into the bowl with the dry mix Stir until the mixture begins to clump and resemble dough This step is where all the aroma comes to life
Adjust the Consistency:
Slowly add the almond milk one tablespoon at a time stopping to mix between each addition The ideal dough is firm enough to roll into balls but not sticky If too dry add a splash more almond milk If it feels sticky add a bit more oats or protein powder
Fold in Chocolate:
Gently stir in the mini chocolate chips so they are spread throughout every bite
Shape the Balls:
Use your hands to roll the mixture into one inch balls Place each on a sheet lined with parchment paper My tip is to wet your hands slightly to keep the dough from sticking
Chill to Set:
Refrigerate the protein balls for at least thirty minutes This helps them firm up and taste even better

My favorite part is the hint of Biscoff in every bite It always reminds me of the first batch I made when my sister visited She helped roll the dough and we laughed at who could make the most perfect sphere

Storage tips

Store these in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week They also freeze well Just space them out on a pan in the freezer first When frozen transfer to a zip top bag and keep for up to three months

Ingredient substitutions

You can swap almond milk for any plant based milk such as oat milk or cashew milk For a nut free version try soy milk Instead of honey use maple syrup for a vegan snack and if you don’t have Biscoff try peanut butter or sunflower butter

Serving suggestions

These are great for after school snacks or a quick on the go breakfast I love to serve them with a little Greek yogurt and some fresh fruit or crumble one over oatmeal for a treat

Cultural context

Biscoff spread originally comes from Belgium where it is enjoyed with coffee The flavor is caramelized and spiced like gingersnap cookies Bringing it into a healthy snack is my way of adding a European twist to easy meal prep
