Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (50g) rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup (30g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup (40g) mini dark chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240g) almond butter
  • 2 tbsp (42g) honey
  • 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1–2 tbsp (15-30ml) unsweetened almond milk (if needed)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, and peppermint extract. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too dry or crumbly, gradually add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened almond milk at a time, mixing in between, until the mixture reaches a moldable consistency.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini dark chocolate chips into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed without melting.
  4. Form Balls: Scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a smooth ball. Repeat this process to form all the protein balls.
  5. Chill: Place the completed protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
  6. Store and Serve: Transfer the protein balls to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy them as a healthy snack anytime!

Notes

  • For a vegan option, replace honey with maple syrup.
  • If the mixture is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes before rolling into balls.
  • Adjust the amount of peppermint extract according to your preferred mint intensity.
  • For an extra boost of protein and fiber, consider adding chia seeds or flax seeds to the mixture.
