Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the oats, protein powder, and salt, and mix well with a spatula until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips at the end. If the mixture feels too dry, add a teaspoon of milk or a splash of extra honey.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands (pro tip: slightly damp hands make rolling easier).
- Place them on a baking sheet or plate and chill for 20–30 minutes to set. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week—or freeze for longer.
