Ingredients & Substitutions
You can find the full printable recipe, including ingredient quantities, below. But first, here are some explanations of ingredients and steps to help you make this recipe perfect every time.
- Oats — You can use either quick cook or old-fashioned oats for this recipe.
- Cookies — You’ll need around six Biscoff cookies. We find these in the cookies section of our local grocery store. Or you can also look at stores like World Market.
- Cinnamon — Let’s boost the flavor with a teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Protein Powder — We’ll add protein to these treats with some vanilla plant-based protein powder. Which protein powder should you use? I like this review from Healthline on the best vegan protein powders.
- Nut Butter — Many recipes use Biscoff Spread, but it’s difficult to find (at least not in my neck of the woods). So, I used creamy almond butter instead. Works like a charm! Besides, Biscoff spread is made with a lot of oil. I’d rather use nut butter any day! Feel free to substitute peanut butter.
- Syrup — I used a couple of tablespoons of maple syrup, but you can use your favorite syrup sweetener.
How to Make Biscoff Protein Balls
- Pulse the oats and cookies in a food processor.
- Add remaining ingredients and pulse until combined.
- The batter should stick together when you pinch it with your fingers. If not, add more agave and pulse again.
- Use a cookie dough dispenser to measure out rounded spoonfuls of batter.
- Roll the batter into balls. Spritz your hands with water to make the rolling more smooth.
- Add more biscoff cookie pieces for a pretty finished look.

- FAVORITE — Pack these treats for post-workout gym treats or take them to soccer matches for a driving home snack.
Frequently-Asked Questions
Can I make Biscoff Protein Balls gluten-free?
Yes, you can make gluten-free protein balls by using certified gluten-free ingredients. You may need to make homemade gluten-free Biscoff cookies or substitute gluten-free cookies.
You can replace Biscoff cookies with other vegan-friendly cookies, such as Oreos or ginger snaps, to create unique flavor variations. Use the same quantity as mentioned in the recipe for delightful results.
Customizing Biscoff Energy Balls
One of the beautiful things about energy balls is how easily you can customize them to suit your individual tastes and dietary requirements. Here are some creative ways to make your Lotus Biscoff Energy Balls truly your own:
- Nutty Variations: Experiment with different nut or seed butters. Try cashew butter, peanut butter, or even tahini for a unique twist on the classic recipe. Each option delivers a distinctive flavor to your energy balls.
- Add-ins: Feel free to include extra ingredients for added texture and flavor. Chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or even mini chocolate chips can take your Biscoff Energy Balls to the next level.
- Flavor Boosters: Mix up the spices. Substitute the cinnamon with nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, ground ginger, or a hint of espresso powder. These spices complement the Biscoff cookies beautifully.
- Texture Control: You can use either chunky or smooth peanut butter. The former will give you a nutty crunch, while the latter will result in a smoother, creamier consistency.
- Flavor Fusion: Get creative with your flavor combinations. Try adding a teaspoon of citrus zest for a refreshing twist, or experiment with extracts like almond or coconut. Remember, when it comes to extracts, a little bit (even a drop) goes a long way.
The key to making the best protein balls is achieving the right consistency. If your mixture is too dry, add a bit more nut butter or syrup sweetener.
If it’s too sticky, toss in extra oats or cookie crumbs. Take taste tests (my favorite part of making protein balls) to make sure you get it right.
