This is a sponsored post for the Bob's Red Mill #granolabobsway advertising campaign.

A few weeks back, Bob's Red Mill contacted me to ask me if I would be interested in participating in their August campaign to promote their line of Pan-Baked Granolas.

I absolutely love the brand and I use their products in most of my recipes so they didn't have to push very hard to convince me!

They've sent me 1 bag for every flavor: Lemon Blueberry, Coconut Spice, Maple Sea Salt, and Cranberry Almond. To be honest, I'm usually not a huge fan of granola, I do eat some from time to time, but it usually isn't part of my everyday routine.

But I'll just say this: They have instantly turned me into a regular buyer. This stuff is so, so good. All of the flavors are extremely tasty, and very healthy as well! Gluten-free and only 7 grams of added sugar per serving. Simply amazing.

How to make Almond Butter Protein Balls

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Break the granola clusters. The way I did it is that I opened the bag, removed the air, closed it, then gently rolled it with a rolling pin. Simple.

3. Pour the whole bag of granola (any of their flavor, here I used Cranberry Almond) into a large mixing bowl, add almond butter, coconut flour, vanilla whey protein powder, and almond milk. Stir until well combined:

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Break the Clusters. Remove the air from the granola bag, then roll it gently using a rolling pin (or your fist/palm), to break the clusters.
  • Stir Everything Together. Pour the whole bag into a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup almond butter, ½ cup vanilla whey protein powder, ¼ cup coconut flour, and ½ cup unsweetened almond milk. Stir until well combined.
  • Roll Into Balls. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls using your hands. I used a ⅛ cup measuring cup to make equally sized balls. Place the balls on the lined baking pan.
  • Refrigerate. Place the balls in the refrigerator for 2 hours to set. (They will be oily at first, but will set in the fridge)
  • Store. Place the balls in an airtight container. To be kept in the refrigerator for up to 7 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
