Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup nut butter (peanut or almond recommended)
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 tablespoons milk (as needed to thin)

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup quick oats
  • ⅓ cup chocolate protein powder
  • 23 tablespoons cocoa powder (adjust based on preference)
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: Whisk together the nut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the quick oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, ground flax seeds, salt, and chocolate chips using a rubber spatula to form a thick mixture.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too dry, gradually add 1-2 teaspoons of milk at a time until the mixture is easier to handle and mix cohesively.
  4. Form Balls: Use a small cookie scoop to portion out the mixture and roll into balls by hand.
  5. Optional Coating: Roll the bliss balls in shredded coconut or freeze-dried raspberries for extra flavor and texture, if desired.
  6. Chill: Place the bliss balls in the fridge to set and firm up for at least 30 minutes before enjoying.

Notes

  • You can substitute quick oats with rolled oats, but this will change the texture slightly.
  • Adjust cocoa powder amount to balance chocolate intensity according to your taste preference.
  • These bliss balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for longer storage.
