The complete recipe can be found in the recipe card down below.

How to Make Cashew Butter

Whole cashews can be made into cashew butter by pulsing them in a food processor or by blending in a blender. If you want to make 1 cup of cashew butter, you will need 2 cups of whole cashews. Cashew butter has a more neutral flavor that really lets the cake batter flavored protein powder shine.

How to Make Oat Flour

It is super easy to make oat flour at home using old fashioned rolled oats. You can use a 1:1 ratio, meaning if you need 1 cup of oat flour, you need to use 1 cup of old fashioned oats. Use a food processor or blender to pulse the oats until they are powder.

My Favorite Protein Powder

If you go with vanilla protein powder, any brand will do. If you want more of that cake batter flavor, Just Ingredients and Clean Simple Eats both have cake batter flavored protein powder that are both really tasty.

Traeger Smoked Cheezits

Irresistible snack alert!!! I don’t even know how this happened or what to tell you other than, I smoked cheezits and then I ate them all. 

Ok, I didn’t eat them all but for someone who isn’t really into rando snacks like this, it’s a pretty big deal that I couldn’t keep my grubby little hands out of them. 

We had some of our best friends over one night for dinner and swimming and afterwards ended up in the backyard roasting marshmallows and chatting away until the stars came out. If you’ve snagged a copy of our cookbook, Raised in the Kitchen you know what this is called, Sobremesa and it’s honestly my favorite part of the entire book. I’ll let you read all about it yourselves, but man, it was suuuuch a good night. 

And then Steve mentioned that his friend had smoked cheezits and I became obsessed. I lasted 4 days before curiosity got the best of me and I went for it. I decided to not google any recipes but to just wing it on my own and I am pretty dang sure that’s why it turned out awesome, it was pure inspiration.
