Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, almond butter, honey, and almond milk until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula until a sticky dough forms.
If using chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate, gently fold them into the dough at this stage.
Using slightly wet hands or a cookie scoop, divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll them gently into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking tray, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Bake the dough balls in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden on the outside but still soft when pressed gently.
Remove the tray from the oven and let the dough balls cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these high-protein dough balls as a nutritious snack or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
