Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (50g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240g) almond butter
  • 2 tbsp (42g) honey
  • 1/4 cup (30g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1/4 cup (40g) mini dark chocolate chips
  • 1–2 tbsp (15-30ml) unsweetened almond milk (if needed)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, and peppermint extract. Mix thoroughly to form a uniform mixture.
  2. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture feels too dry to form balls, add unsweetened almond milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency that holds together well.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture without breaking them up.
  4. Form the Balls: Scoop roughly 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll it between your palms to form a smooth ball. Repeat this process for the entire mixture.
  5. Prepare for Firming: Place the formed protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to keep them from sticking.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 20 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
  7. Storage: Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy as a healthy snack anytime!

Notes

  • If you prefer a sweeter treat, increase honey by 1 tablespoon.
  • The peppermint extract gives a fresh minty flavor; adjust to taste but be cautious as it is potent.
  • You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter if desired.
  • For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Make sure to refrigerate before eating to help maintain the shape and texture.
