Cake Batter Balls
Healthy Cake Batter Energy Balls are coated in sprinkles and guaranteed to bring the smiles! They’re no-bake and naturally gluten free!

Sprinkles have magical powers. They transform things my kids deem “meh” to beautifully delicious and exciting treats.

Oatmeal? Colorful oatmeal heaven. Yogurt? Multi-colored yogurt bliss. Pancakes? Birthday pancakes. Toast? Sprinkle toast. Wait. Ok ok, I’ve never actually put sprinkles on toast, but I don’t see what’s stopping me.

I like how sprinkles bring the party. No matter who you’re with, or what you’re eating, add some sprinkles and it’s guaranteed to make you smile.

Cake Batter Balls

I whipped up these easy (too easy) cake batter balls. No bake, five minute prep, and ohhh so delicious. I literally couldn’t keep little hands away.

My kids were loving the process of rolling these and dipping them in the sprinkles. Sprinkles EVERYWHERE, people.

Cake Batter Balls

Ingredients for

  • blanched almond flour
  • unsweetened coconut shreds
  • agave nectar
  • vanilla
  • refined coconut oil
  • unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • pinch of salt
  • rainbow sprinkles

How to Make Cake Batter Balls!!

Combine almond flour, coconut shreds, agave nectar (honey or maple syrup works for higher glycemic), refined coconut oil, almond milk, sea salt, and vanilla in your food processor. Process to mix everything together (about 30 seconds) and it will be like cookie dough consistency. Scrape down the sides and process for another 10 seconds. You can definitely use a bowl and whisk too, I’m just so used to using my food processor!

Cake Batter Balls

In a separate, smaller bowl, pour 2 tablespoons of sprinkles at a time (or use naturally died sprinkles!!). Add more tablespoons of sprinkles as needed.

Roll a ping pong-sized ball in your hands. I used a cookie scooper to keep the ball size consistent 🙂 Then drop it in the sprinkle bowl and roll it around a bit.

Cake Batter Balls

Once they are coated in sprinkles, roll them in your hands one more time to really press the sprinkles onto the outside of the balls.

Place it on a plate in a single layer. Pop it in the freezer for 5 – 10 minutes, then transfer them to the fridge until ready to eat.
