Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk


Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, almond butter, honey, and almond milk. Stir thoroughly until a dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Form Balls: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. If the mixture feels too sticky to handle, place it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up before rolling.
  3. Chill: Arrange the rolled balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set and firm properly.
  4. Store: Transfer the protein balls to an airtight container and keep them refrigerated or frozen. Enjoy them chilled or at room temperature as a nutritious snack anytime.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter or any other nut butter of your choice.
  • For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your taste.
  • Try adding mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra texture.
  • Keep the balls in the freezer for up to one month for longer storage.
