Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 cup rolled oats 50g
  • 1 cup almond butter 240g, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons honey 42g
  • 0.25 cup vanilla protein powder 30g
  • 0.25 teaspoon peppermint extract adjust to taste
  • 0.25 cup mini dark chocolate chips 40g
  • 1-2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk if needed for consistency

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Rubber spatula or spoon
  • Parchment paper
  • Baking sheet or tray

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, and peppermint extract. Mix thoroughly.
  2. If the mixture is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of almond milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  3. Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  4. Scoop out 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball using your hands. Repeat with remaining mixture.
  5. Place the protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 1 month. Start with 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract and adjust to taste. Slightly dampen hands to prevent mixture from sticking while rolling.
