Ingredients
- 1 cup oat powder
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy and unsweetened
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1-4 teaspoons almond milk
Instructions
- Combine oat powder, protein powder, and sea salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Check the mixture’s consistency, if it’s too dry, add almond milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until thick and moldable like cookie dough.
- Once your mixture has reached the desired consistency, take small portions and roll them into balls about the size of a tablespoon.
- Place the protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
Notes
Store the protein balls in an airtight container for up to a week. For best results, refrigerate them to maintain freshness.
For extended storage, freeze the balls in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before eating.
The dough should feel slightly sticky but firm enough to hold its shape when rolled.
If you don’t have oat powder, blend rolled oats in a food processor until fine and powdery.
Use a cookie scoop to ensure the balls are evenly sized.
