Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
