Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond butter or peanut butter natural for creamy texture
  • 1 cup vanilla whey protein powder or plant-based for dairy-free
  • 1 cup coconut flour or oat flour plus 1-2 tablespoons if needed
  • 1 tablespoon honey or pure maple syrup for sweetness and binding
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract to enhance flavor
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for a warm touch

  3. Pour in the honey or maple syrup, and add the vanilla extract. Mix again until the mixture starts to come together.
