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
- 1–2 tbsp (15-30ml) unsweetened almond milk (if needed)
- 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.
- 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.
- Add Chocolate Chips Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture without breaking them up.
- 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.
- Prepare for Firming Place the formed protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to keep them from sticking.
- Chill Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 20 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
- Storage Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy as a healthy snack anytime!
