Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup nut butter peanut, almond, or cashew
- ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
- ¼ cup protein powder optional
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, nut butter, honey, protein powder, flaxseed, chia seeds, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Stir well.
- If the mixture feels too dry, add an extra tablespoon of nut butter or honey. If it’s too wet, add a bit more oats.
- Cover and refrigerate for about an hour to let the mixture firm up.
- Once chilled, scoop out small portions and roll into bite-sized balls using your hands.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Enjoy anytime as a healthy snack!
Notes
- If the mixture is too sticky, lightly coat your hands with coconut oil before rolling.
- For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter instead of nut butter.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder for extra flavor.
- You can press the mixture into a dish and slice into bars instead of rolling into balls.
