Equipment Needed

  • Medium mixing bowl

Ingredients

  •  1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons [level off]/ 5 spoonfuls) natural peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp honey / 5-second drizzle honey
  • 1 scoop protein powder (1/3 cup)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips (regular or mini)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2-4 tablespoons water
  • pinch of salt

Optional:

  • 2 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 Tbsp flax

 

Instructions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, vanilla extract, honey, and protein powder.

Step 2

Stir in the oats, coconut and salt until well combined and then add the chocolate chips. If the mixture doesn’t hold together well when pinched together, add the additional water a tablespoon at a time until the mixture holds together well when pinched (depending on how oily your peanut butter you’ll have to add more/less).

Step 3

Form 1” balls by pressing about 1 tablespoon of the mixture together.

Step 4

Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for 1 week.
