Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup unsweetened natural peanut butter
- 0.25 cup vanilla protein powder
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, and chia seeds. Stir well to ensure that all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the unsweetened natural peanut butter to the dry mixture. Depending on its consistency, you might need to warm the peanut butter slightly in the microwave to make it easier to mix.
Pour in the honey and unsweetened almond milk. Add the pure vanilla extract as well.
Using a spatula or clean hands, mix all the ingredients until they are fully combined and form a dough-like consistency. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more almond milk; if it's too wet, sprinkle in a bit more oats.
Once the mixture is combined, use your hands to form it into 1-inch balls. Aim to keep each ball approximately the same size for even servings.
Place the formed balls onto a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
