Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (50g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240g) almond butter
  • 2 tbsp (42g) honey
  • 1/4 cup (30g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1/4 cup (40g) mini dark chocolate chips
  • 12 tbsp (15-30ml) unsweetened almond milk (if needed)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, and peppermint extract. Mix thoroughly to form a uniform mixture.
  2. Adjust Consistency If the mixture feels too dry to form balls, add unsweetened almond milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency that holds together well.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture without breaking them up.
  4. Form the Balls Scoop roughly 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll it between your palms to form a smooth ball. Repeat this process for the entire mixture.
  5. Prepare for Firming Place the formed protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to keep them from sticking.
  6. Chill Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 20 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
  7. Storage Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy as a healthy snack anytime!

Notes

  • Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 20 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
