Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Modern-Day, High-Protein Swap – PBFit Multipurpose Peanut Flour Baking Blend swaps 1-to-1 for white all-purpose flour in this protein cinnamon bites recipe. It delivers a solid boost of plant-based protein, 7x more fiber, and 80% less fat than almond flour, making it an innovative swap to curb your sweet tooth without guilt or sugar crash.
Zero Calorie Natural Sweetness – Instead of refined sugar, these cinnamon breakfast bites are sweetened with monk fruit sweetener, a natural, zero-calorie sweetener that’s 100 to 250 times sweeter than table sugar. It provides all the sweetness you love without spiking blood glucose levels, making these protein cinnamon bites a fantastic option for anyone following a keto, low-carb, or diabetic-friendly lifestyle.
High-Protein Chocolate Sauce – In addition to a high-protein PBfit Peanut Flour Baking Blend base, the chocolate sauce is also made from chocolate protein powder that packs 25grams of complete protein per serving. This adds a double dose of plant-based protein to these cinnamon crunch bites, unlike traditional cinnamon pretzel bites that are often loaded with refined flour and sugar.

How to Make Protein Cinnamon Bites
- Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut flour baking blend, baking powder, salt, coconut yogurt, and monk fruit sweetener. Stir until everything comes together into a soft dough. If the dough feels slightly sticky, let it rest for a couple of minutes so the flour fully hydrates before shaping.
- Shape the Bites
Divide the dough evenly into 9 portions. Roll each piece gently between your palms until smooth and round. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
- Bake
Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the bites are lightly golden and cooked through. Avoid over baking, as they continue to firm up slightly while cooling.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Coating
While the bites bake, combine the monk fruit sweetener and cinnamon in a small bowl. Once the bites come out of the oven, lightly spray them with cooking spray while still warm. Immediately toss each bite in the cinnamon mixture until evenly coated.
- Make the Chocolate Sauce
Whisk together the chocolate protein powder, cacao powder, maple syrup, and soy milk until completely smooth. If you’d like a thinner consistency for dipping, simply whisk in an additional tablespoon of soy milk. Serve alongside the warm cinnamon bites.
Recipe Tips for Cinnamon Bites
Don’t Overmix the Dough: Mix just until everything is combined. Overworking the dough can make the bites denser than necessary.
Skip the Peanut Flour: Replace the peanut flour baking blend with white all-purpose flour if that’s what you have on hand. The bites will still taste delicious but won’t have the same high protein content.
Want to Make these Soy Free? Replace soy milk with almond, oat, or milk to make soy free protein cinnamon bites.
Let the Dough Rest: If the dough feels too soft, allow it to sit for 5 minutes before rolling. The peanut flour will continue absorbing moisture.
