Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup protein powder
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons natural sweetener (honey or maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon mint extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, protein powder, mini chocolate chips, and chia seeds (if using). Mix thoroughly to distribute everything evenly.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add almond butter, natural sweetener, and mint extract to the dry mix. Using a spoon or your hands, stir everything together until a sticky, cohesive dough forms.
  3. Form the Balls: Scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them between your palms into 1-inch balls. This part is fun and lets you adjust the size to your liking.
  4. Chill and Set: Place the formed balls on a baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up for the perfect bite.

Notes

  • Choose quality protein powder for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overmix to keep the balls tender.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste before forming the balls.
  • Use mini chocolate chips for better distribution of chocolate flavor.
  • Store the balls in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and shape.
