Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup nut butter (peanut or almond)
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (as needed to thin)
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup quick oats
- ⅓ cup chocolate protein powder
- 2–3 tablespoons cocoa powder (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the nut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the quick oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, ground flax seeds, salt, and chocolate chips to the wet mixture. Use a rubber spatula to stir everything together until evenly mixed.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture feels too dry, gradually add 1-2 teaspoons of milk at a time until it’s easier to mix and holds together well.
- Form Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop the mixture and roll it into bite-sized balls with your hands.
- Optional Coating: Leave the bliss balls as they are or roll them in shredded coconut, freeze-dried raspberries, or your favorite toppings for added texture and flavor.
- Chill: Place the bliss balls in the refrigerator and let them set for at least 30 minutes to firm up before enjoying.
Notes
- You can substitute quick oats with rolled oats, though the texture will be a bit different.
- Room temperature storage is fine; they can be kept at room temperature or refrigerated for longer freshness.
- Protein powder is necessary to absorb the wet ingredients and maintain the right consistency.
- Feel free to experiment with different nut butters or flavor extracts like almond extract for variety.
