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
- 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 dry ingredients are evenly coated and the mixture sticks together.
- Form balls: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls using your hands. If the mixture feels too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm up before rolling.
- Chill: Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set and firm up.
- Store and serve: Transfer the protein balls into an airtight container and store them in the fridge or freezer. Enjoy them chilled or at room temperature as a convenient and healthy snack.
Notes
- If you prefer a sweeter snack, add more honey or a drizzle of maple syrup.
- Feel free to substitute almond butter with peanut butter or sunflower seed butter for variation.
- For added texture, mix in some chopped nuts or dark chocolate chips.
- These protein balls make a great on-the-go snack and can last up to one week refrigerated or up to a month frozen.
