Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 0.5 cup natural peanut butter
- 0.33 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon water (optional, if needed)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well mixed.
Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or clean hands until a sticky dough forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.
If the mixture feels too dry to form balls, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Using clean hands, roll the dough into small balls about the size of a golf ball. You should get approximately 12 balls.
Place the chocolate protein balls on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze them for up to 1 month.
