INGREDIENTS

  • ½ cup quick oats
  • 2 scoops Epic Protein Vanilla Lucuma
  • 3 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3–4 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • ¼ tsp coconut oil
  • 2-3 tsp gold sprinkles 
    DIRECTIONS
    1. In a medium bowl, stir together the oats and protein powder until evenly combined. Set aside.
    2. Microwave the almond butter in a heat-safe bowl for about 30 seconds, just until it loosens and becomes easy to stir. Pour the warmed almond butter, vanilla and almond milk into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until the dough starts to come together, then switch to your hands if needed to fully incorporate everything. The mixture should feel soft and moldable.
    3. Use a 1-inch cookie scoop (or a small spoon) to portion the dough. Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth balls. Arrange them on a parchment-lined plate.
    4. Gently poke a hole halfway into each ball using a lollipop stick. Melt about a tablespoon of white chocolate in the microwave, dip the tip of each stick into the melted chocolate and insert it into the pre-made hole. This helps anchor the stick as the chocolate sets.
    5. Place the cake pops in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up before dipping.
    6. Add the remaining white chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe cup. Heat for 30 seconds, then continue microwaving in 15-second bursts, stirring between each one, until the chocolate is completely smooth.
    7. Coat each chilled cake pop with the melted white chocolate, using a small spatula to help if needed.
    8. While the chocolate is still wet, scatter the sprinkles over the top.
    9. Stand the pops upright in a cup or styrofoam block so they can set without smudging. Refrigerate for 5–10 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
    10. Enjoy once fully set!
