No Bake Snickerdoodle Protein Balls

Snickerdoodle cookies are one of my favorite holiday cookies, mainly because I am OBSESSED with cinnamon.

I love cinnamon in my breakfast oatmeal, in protein bars and even in flourless fluffy cinnamon roll pancakes. It’s time for a holiday twist on the classic energy balls.

With the holiday season in full swing, I’m in need of a quick protein-packed energy snack. I mean, buying presents, testing holiday recipes AND photographing said holiday recipes DOES take it out of you.

When it comes to protein-energy ball recipes, I need them to use wholesome ingredients and be super low carb. The reason for this is that I find having keto and sugar-free friendly snacks between meals to keep me WAY more energized than a carb or strictly protein-rich snack. 

SNICKERDOODLE ENERGY BITES

Not only are these snickerdoodle no bake bites ketogenic, sugar-free and low carb, but they also fit a paleo, vegan and gluten-free diet! 

These Healthy No-Bake Snickerdoodle bites taste exactly like snickerdoodle cookie batter and I’m not even joking. Why? You’ll see in the recipe I post tomorrow.

The texture of these snickerdoodle balls are soft and chewy, and seriously remind me eating raw cookie dough, with a cinnamon sugar twist.

What do Snickerdoodle Cookies Taste like? 

People often ask me what exactly is the snickerdoodle flavor, and I say CINNAMON SUGAR, but better. For those of you who aren’t huge fans of cinnamon, the flavor really isn’t overpowering- It’s light, delicious and almost like cinnamon toast. 

Energy bites are a savior though- They literally take 5 minutes to whip up and you can jive to Britney Spears ‘Gimme More’ twice (10 minutes total) while they firm up and then voila- A sweet snack ready to…..dance with you?

Instructions 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours, sweetener, cinnamon, and mix very well.
  • In a microwave safe bowl or stovetop, melt your sunflower seed butter with your sticky sweetener until combined. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix very well. If the batter is crumbly, add milk one tablespoon at a time until a thick, formable batter is present. Using your hands, form into small balls and set aside.

  1. Hi there, just wondering if the fibre has been deducted from the carbs? Just want to confirm if these are 3grams carbs net or total? Thank you 🙂

  2. Someone should do that make a nice caramel ball base out of dates, protein powder n stuff put some chopped roasted peanuts mixed in and then just roll in chocolate powder, yum. Kinda surprised noone has ! Any chance I might see that soon ?

  3. Any chance I can just throw all the ingredients into a Vitamix and voila? Anyone tried that? That is my kind of no bake…

  4. Love love love this recipe! I was just looking for something simple and healthyish, and instead I found myself effectively eating cookie dough. Thank you!!

  5. I’ll be honest. I was skeptical of how these would turn out, texture-wise. Your photos make them look amazing, buuuut… could I achieve that? (spoiler: yes) I’ve been meaning to make these for weeks and finally got around to it on Monday. I was worried for a while there, as I added tablespoon upon tablespoon of almond milk (ended up adding 4, as I used the protein powder). But then magic happened. And I had these amazing cookie balls. Now I’ve made balls several times before, and they generally last about a week. These didn’t stand a chance. lol They were gone in half a week. I did overdo the coating, as I hoped rolling them twice would use up the cinnamon sugar mix, but I ended up just having to give up and throw the remains in a jar for the next time I need such a concoction. 😀 Man, you make some ridiculously delicious stuff. I look forward to making more. Thank you so much for doing what you do! 🙂

    1. Jessica! 🙂 This is such a kind comment- Glad it worked out well!

      That’s the thing with the protein powder/coconut flour brands out there- they all produce such a different texture!

  6. Dear Arman, these almost look like donut holes! Your snickerdoodle bites sound fantastic…also love an easy snack and your no-bake bites are the best. I think we have all been there as far as seeing our recipes copied. I guess as food bloggers it comes with the territory. A while back there was a site that was taking recipes from a whole bunch of bloggers, and you have no idea the hassle it was to try and get them taken down. So many complain reports needed to be filed, and I’m not even sure to this day if was ever taken down. Not a fun thing and certainly not acceptable. It’s a sensitive subject, but good thing you made these snickerdoodles to calm us all down afterwards. Take care my friend, Catherine
