Ingredients
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup chocolate protein powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Add all ingredients to a large bowl.
Mix until well combined. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit more honey or peanut butter; if too wet, add more oats or flaxseed.
Using a cookie scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
Place the protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to help them firm up.
Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
You can use almond butter instead of peanut butter for a different flavor.
Add chia seeds or shredded coconut for extra texture and nutrition.
Use vegan protein powder and dairy-free chocolate chips to make it vegan.
