Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 2 cups Rolled oats Provides structure.
  • 1 cup Nut butter (peanut or almond) Acts as the glue.
  • 1 scoop Protein powder (vanilla or chocolate) For added protein.
  • 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup Adds sweetness.
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances flavor.
Mix-ins
  • 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips Optional for added sweetness.
  • 0.5 cup Shredded coconut Adds texture.
  • 0.5 cup Chopped nuts For crunch.
  • 0.5 cup Chia seeds For added fiber.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon For flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix together the nut butter and honey until well combined.
  2. Stir in the rolled oats, protein powder, and salt until the mixture is sticky but holds together.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to soak up moisture.
  4. If the mixture is too dry, add a tiny splash of milk; if too sticky, add more oats.
  5. Using slightly wet hands, roll the mixture into small balls.
Storage
  1. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for about a week or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Experiment with different nut butters and mix-ins for unique flavors. Ideal for breakfast or as a snack.
