Ingredients
2 cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1/2 cup Chocolate Protein Powder
1/3 cup Honey or Maple Syrup
1/2 cup Mini Dark Chocolate Chips
2 tablespoons Chia Seeds or Flax Meal
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Pinch of Sea Salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, chia seeds, and sea salt. Stir these together until the protein powder evenly coats the oats
- Pour in the creamy peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Use a sturdy spatula to fold everything together until the mixture is thick
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips
- If the dough feels too crumbly, add a tablespoon of water. If it feels too sticky, add another tablespoon of oats
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes
- Use a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon to portion out the dough and roll into balls about one inch in diameter
- Place the finished balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for another 15 minutes to firm them up completely
Notes
For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey and dairy-free chocolate chips.
You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter if necessary.
