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. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, almond butter, honey, and almond milk. Stir thoroughly until a consistent dough forms.
  2. Form Balls: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, ensuring they are compact. If the mixture feels sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before rolling to make handling easier.
  3. Chill the Balls: Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and hold their shape.
  4. Store: Transfer the protein balls to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator or freezer and enjoy either chilled or at room temperature as a convenient, healthy snack.

Notes

  • If the mixture is too sticky to form into balls initially, chilling it for 10 minutes will help make handling easier.
  • These protein balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for up to one month.
  • For a nuttier flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or seeds.
  • You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter if preferred.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
