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. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, and peppermint extract. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened almond milk at a time, mixing after each addition, until the mixture is moist enough to shape into balls.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini dark chocolate chips into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  4. Form Balls: Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your hands to form a compact ball. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture.
  5. Chill to Set: Place the protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate them for at least 20 minutes so they can firm up and hold their shape.
  6. Store Properly: Transfer the chilled protein balls to an airtight container and keep them refrigerated for up to one week. Enjoy as a healthy snack anytime!

Notes

  • Ensure to use unsweetened almond milk to maintain the intended flavor balance.
  • You can substitute almond butter with any nut or seed butter if preferred.
  • For a stronger mint flavor, increase the peppermint extract slightly, but do this cautiously to avoid overpowering the taste.
