Ingredients
  

For the greek yogurt frosting (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Stir the shredded carrots, defrosted cauliflower rice and maple syrup together and cook in a microwave safe glass bowl for 90-120 seconds until the carrots and cauliflower are hot and appear cooked. Wait until cool enough to handle.
  • In another clean bowl, mix the dry ingredients: protein powder, oat flour and cinnnamon
  • Next, mix in the cooked carrots (along with the maple syrup in the bowl), as well as the cashew butter --and use your hands to knead and get the dough to come together.
    Add more oat flour ½ Tablespoon at a time if the dough is too soft, add a teaspoon or more of water, maple syrup or liquid sweetener of choice if the dough is too thick
  • Add some chopped nuts or raisins into the dough for additional texture, if desired.
  • Roll the batter into tablespoon sized balls, refrigerate for 15 minutes to set
  • Top with frosting if desired. The protein balls can be enjoyed with or without additional frosting, which I added for decoration purposes.

Notes

*I used Orgain Vanilla Protein Powder. I used a standard measuring cup to measure out the protein powder.
