Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned or quick-cooking; gluten-free if preferred)
  • 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder (whey, casein, or plant-based)
  • 0.25 cup freeze-dried blueberries (finely ground)
  • 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce (or mashed banana)
  • 0.25 cup cream cheese (softened; vegan alternative works too)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional)
  • 0.25 cup frozen blueberries (thawed and drained)
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy, as needed)
  • For the glaze:
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)

Instructions

  1. Grind freeze-dried blueberries into a fine powder using a blender or food processor.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce (or mashed banana), cream cheese, and honey or maple syrup until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until combined. Add milk one tablespoon at a time if the mixture feels too dry.
  5. Gently fold in the thawed and drained frozen blueberries.
  6. Form the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined plate.
  7. For the glaze, mix together softened cream cheese, milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  8. Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  9. Drizzle with the glaze and top with fresh blueberries.
  10. For best results, refrigerate for an additional 10 minutes before serving chilled.
