Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Mix thoroughly until the mixture is sticky but forms a cohesive dough.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
Roll into 1-inch balls using clean hands.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
Use plant-based protein powder for a vegan option.
Substitute applesauce for honey if avoiding added sugars.
Store in the freezer for extended shelf life (up to 1 month).
Optional add-ins: chia seeds, shredded coconut, or cocoa powder for a chocolate twist.
