Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir them well to ensure even distribution.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. This will provide moisture and sweetness to the dough.
  3. Form Dough: Mix all ingredients thoroughly until a thick and sticky dough forms. If the mixture feels too dry, gradually add more honey or a splash of milk to achieve the right consistency.
  4. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
  5. Shape Balls: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them between your hands to form small, compact balls.
  6. Chill: Arrange the protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
  • For added texture or nutrition, try adding nuts or seeds like flaxseeds or crushed almonds.
  • If the dough is too sticky to handle, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes before rolling.
  • Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
