Ingredients

Dry ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free quick oats
  • 1 1/4 cups vanilla protein powder (whey or blend)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt

Wet ingredients & binder

  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

Mix-ins

  • 3/4 cup mini Cadbury Creme Eggs, roughly chopped

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • If you have a food processor, pulse the oats, protein powder and salt 3–4 times to combine and break the oats down slightly; otherwise whisk them together in a large bowl.
  • Warm the peanut butter and honey together in a microwave-safe bowl in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between bursts, until they’re glossy and easily pourable. Stir in the vanilla extract and almond milk until smooth.
  • Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir with a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon until everything is evenly moistened and the mixture holds together when pressed. If it feels too dry, add 1 tablespoon more almond milk.
  • Fold in about three-quarters of the chopped Cadbury eggs, reserving the rest for finishing so you keep some larger candy bits for texture and appearance.
  • Cover the bowl and chill the mixture in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up slightly—this makes shaping much easier and prevents the candy from melting into the batter.
  • Using a 1-tablespoon scoop (or wet hands), press and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. As you form each ball, gently press a few reserved chopped Cadbury pieces into the outside of each bite so some candy shows on the surface.
  • Place the bites on a tray or plate in a single layer and refrigerate for 45 minutes to fully set. Once firm, transfer to an airtight container and keep chilled.

Notes

Tip: For a firmer, chewier texture, freeze the bites for 10 minutes before serving. They also travel well in a lunchbox—keep chilled until ready to eat.
