Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Rolled oats Quick oats work too.
  • 1 cup Chocolate protein powder Whey or plant based both work.
  • 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder Pick cocoa based on preference.
  • 1/2 cup Nut butter Peanut butter or almond butter.
  • 1/3 cup Honey or maple syrup Optional for sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 2-6 tablespoons Milk of choice Dairy or non-dairy, as needed.
Optional Mix-Ins
  • Mini chocolate chips For added sweetness.
  • Chopped walnuts
  • Shredded coconut

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, stir together the oats, protein powder, cocoa, and salt.
  2. Add the nut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla. Mix until it starts coming together.
  3. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until the mixture holds together when squeezed.
  4. Scoop and roll into balls, approximately 1 tablespoon of dough per ball.
  5. Chill for 20 to 30 minutes for firmer texture, or enjoy immediately.

Notes

If the mixture is too dry, add more milk. If too sticky, add a spoonful of oats. These protein balls store well in the fridge or freezer, and are perfect for meal prep.
