Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (50g) rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup (30g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup (40g) mini dark chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240g) almond butter
  • 2 tbsp (42g) honey
  • 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1–2 tbsp (15-30ml) unsweetened almond milk (if needed)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, and peppermint extract. Mix thoroughly to create a consistent mixture.
  2. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture feels too dry or crumbly, gradually add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened almond milk at a time until the mixture holds together well.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the mixture, being careful not to break them.
  4. Form Balls: Scoop out about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
  5. Prepare for Refrigeration: Place the protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 20 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
  7. Store and Enjoy: Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy as a healthy snack anytime.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of almond milk to get the perfect rolling consistency.
  • For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Use gluten-free oats if you require a gluten-free snack.
  • These protein balls can also be frozen for longer storage; thaw before eating.
  • Add a pinch of salt to enhance flavors if desired.
