No Food Processor Needed for Cake Batter Protein Balls!

This may be one of the main differences between this protein ball recipe and many of the other protein ball recipes on Fit Foodie Finds. You don’t need a food processor to mix these bad boys up.

That’s right; all you need is a bowl! Often times, we use dates in our ball recipes which require a food processor for proper blendddding.

Though we love our food processor (and dates!), sometimes it’s just nice to use one bowl and a spoon — truly back to basics with this recipe! Looking for more ball recipes with no food processor required? We got you:

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!

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.

Make Easter Egg Protein Balls!

Follow the directions for the cake batter protein balls, but roll them into the shape of eggs. Then, dip them in a white chocolate coating for an Easter treat. This recipe spin-off was inspired by our friends at Crowded Kitchen.

White Chocolate Coating
Melt 6 oz. white chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon coconut oil and mix to combine. Then, add in 2 teaspoons freeze-dried strawberry powder. Mix again to combine.

  • Place all ingredients into a medium bowl.

  • Use a wooden utensil to mix until 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.

  • Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, and roll 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. Place on a plate.

  • Eat immediately and store in the freezer. Will last up to 3 months frozen.

  • 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!
