Ingredients
Scale
2 cups Rolled Oats (Substitute with gluten-free oats if desired)
1 cup Almond Butter (Can be swapped for any nut or seed butter)
1/3 cup Honey (Maple syrup can be used for a vegan option)
1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder (Choose any preferred flavor if vanilla isn’t preferred)
1 teaspoon Peppermint Extract (Adjust the amount to taste)
1/2 cup Mini Dark Chocolate Chips (Dark chocolate or carob chips can be used as a variation)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, and peppermint extract. Mix until a cohesive mixture forms.
If the mixture is too dry, gradually add almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball shape, placing each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate the balls for a minimum of 20 minutes to firm up.
Transfer the protein balls to an airtight container for storage; they can be kept in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for up to three months.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the peppermint extract to your taste preference.
These protein balls are customizable; try adding other mix-ins like nuts or seeds.
