Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor recommended)
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup nut butter (almond or peanut butter)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Other Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, graham cracker crumbs, and chocolate chips. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute all dry components.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Fold in the nut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the mixture becomes sticky and starts to hold together.
  3. Incorporate Mini Marshmallows: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, taking care to keep them somewhat intact to preserve their gooey texture.
  4. Form the Balls: Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter bite-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined tray evenly spaced.
  5. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the formed protein balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up and enhance flavor melding before serving.

Notes

  • Lightly grease your hands or use a spoon to handle the sticky mixture to prevent sticking.
  • Avoid over-mixing marshmallows to keep their signature gooey pockets intact.
  • Store the balls in an airtight container to retain freshness and moisture.
  • Toast graham crackers slightly before crushing for a deeper, richer flavor.
  • Adjust wet ingredient quantities if using protein powders that dry out mixtures more.
