- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 scoop (about 25g) chocolate or vanilla protein powder
- 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Method
- Combine the oats, peanut butter, honey, protein powder, flaxseed, and salt in a bowl and mix until it comes together into a thick, sticky dough.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- If the mixture feels too loose to roll, put it in the fridge for 10 minutes first — don't force it.
- Roll into 1-inch balls, about 16 total.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before eating so they hold their shape. Store in the fridge for up to a week — if they last that long.
