Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Natural almond butter
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir well so that the cocoa evenly coats the oats.
Add the natural almond butter and honey to the oats mixture. Mix thoroughly until the almond butter and honey are evenly distributed.
Fold in the non-fat Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue mixing until all ingredients are well combined, forming a thick dough-like consistency.
If you're using mini chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture until even distribution is achieved.
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. You should get approximately 12 balls from the mixture.
Place the chocolate balls on a plate or tray and refrigerate them for at least 1 hour before serving. This helps them firm up and enhances flavor.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
