Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of rolled oats, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a pinch of ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- Incorporate 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce, ¼ cup of milk, ¼ cup of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the dry mixture.
- Continue mixing until it forms a cohesive texture. If too dry, add an additional splash of milk.
- Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a tablespoon, take portions of the chilled dough and roll them into bite-sized balls.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the bites for 10-12 minutes.
- Allow them to cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the glaze, mix together 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of additional milk, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Store your Cinnamon Roll Protein Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

These protein bites can also be frozen for longer storage. Reheat slightly in the microwave for a gooey texture.
