How to Make Cake Batter Protein Balls
You can whip up these delicious cake batter protein balls in 4 simple steps:
Use a wooden utensil to mix all ingredients in a bowl until everything is combined. Eventually, it may be easier to knead the dough with your hands.
The dough should be malleable and a little bit oily. If it is not, add water by the teaspoon until it turns into a cookie dough-like dough. A little water goes a long way!

Scoop and Roll Balls
Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, and roll protein ball dough balls between your palms.
Place additional rainbow sprinkles on a plate and roll balls in the sprinkles and then roll them between your palms one more time to make sure the sprinkles are stuck into the balls.
Eat immediately or store for later. These cake batter protein balls will last up to 3 months frozen or up to 1 week in the fridge.
Why aren’t my protein balls sticking together?
If your protein balls are not sticking together, you probably need to add a little bit more moisture. Add a teaspoon of water at a time until your protein balls stick together to form a nice ball.
What can I substitute for cashew butter?
If you don’t have cashew butter on hand, you can substitute it with any other DRIPPY nut butter. Just be sure it’s DRIPPY. The following will work, but flavor will vary slightly:
- Peanut butter
- Almond butter
- Sunflower seed butter
Can I store these in the freezer?
Yes, after you make your protein balls, freeze them on a cookie sheet to harden, and then place them all in a freezer-safe bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.

- cashew butter: this recipe calls for drippy cashew butter. We love the Good and Gather brand at Target along with Trader Joe’s. If your cashew butter is NOT drippy, this recipe will not work. Feel to use peanut butter or almond butter instead.
- protein powder: we used Garden of Life plant-based protein powder in this recipe, but whey will work too!
