Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural unsalted peanut butter
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine natural unsalted peanut butter, rolled oats, and vanilla protein powder. Stir until ingredients are well distributed.
Add honey and vanilla extract to the mixture. Continue stirring until the mixture is sticky and all ingredients are uniformly mixed.
Stir in ground flaxseed to add a boost of nutrition and bind the mixture. If using, fold in dark chocolate chips for an extra touch of sweetness.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into small balls or clusters and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Press gently if you prefer a flatter shape.
Once all clusters are formed, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
After chilling, the clusters are ready to be enjoyed. Keep any leftovers stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
