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. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, and peppermint extract. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  2. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too dry to hold together, slowly add unsweetened almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture reaches a sticky but moldable consistency.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture without breaking them down.
  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 until all the mixture is used.
  5. Chill: Place the formed 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: Transfer the protein balls to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to one week for optimal freshness and texture.
  7. Enjoy: Grab a protein ball anytime you need a tasty, nutritious snack or post-workout boost.

Notes

  • If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more rolled oats to firm it up.
  • For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Use gluten-free oats if you need to keep the recipe gluten-free.
  • Customize protein powder flavor to your preference—vanilla works best for this recipe.
  • Store protein balls in the freezer for longer shelf life; thaw briefly before eating.
