Birthday Cake Peanut Butter Cups

By

Last week while Mazen was home we did several small kitchen projects. Earlier in the year we enjoyed making snack balls together, so Mazen asked to make something similar. I’ve been reading about “protein fudge” on the internet for years, and so we decided to give that a try. I used this recipe by Julie as inspiration. We went with a birthday cake flavor profile while still sticking with peanut butter as the main ingredient.

Birthday Ingredients

Our birthday ingredients included sprinkles (naturally), butter extract (something I bought years ago but rarely use!), oat flour, and vanilla protein powder instead of chocolate. I will say that Arbonne’s protein is made with Stevia and I think the fudge came out with a detectable Stevia aftertaste, so your type of protein powder might change the flavor one way or another. Please note!

A Kid Friendly Recipe

Mazen needed a little help measuring, but this recipe otherwise is almost 100% 6-year-old approved!

Obviously adding the sprinkles was the highlight.

No Bake // Store Frozen!

You do need to store these in the freezer so the coconut oil doesn’t melt.

Recipe

Birthday Cake Peanut Butter Cups

  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tbsp oat flour (ground up oats, could probably leave out)
  • 1/2 tsp butter extract (optional, could sub vanilla)
  • Sprinkles (as much as possible)

  1. Heat peanut butter and coconut oil in a bowl in the microwave until melted, 20-30 seconds.

  2. Stir in protein powder, oats, and butter extract.
  3. Portion 1 tablespoon at a time into a mini muffin tin.
  4. Top with sprinkles. Note heavier sprinkles might sink to the bottom so chilling first might help.
  5. Chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  6. Store frozen.

These would likely work with almond or sunflower butter too!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
