Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (50g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240g) almond butter
  • 2 tbsp (42g) honey
  • 1/4 cup (30g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1/4 cup (40g) mini dark chocolate chips
  • 1–2 tbsp (15-30ml) unsweetened almond milk (if needed)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, and peppermint extract. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture feels too dry or crumbly, gradually add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened almond milk at a time, mixing after each addition, until the mixture reaches a moldable consistency.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture without melting the chips.
  4. Form Balls: Using a tablespoon measure, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll each into a smooth ball between your palms. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
  5. Prepare for Refrigeration: Place the formed protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart so they don’t stick together.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 20 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
  7. Storage: Once firm, transfer the protein balls to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy as a healthy snack anytime!

Notes

  • Use natural almond butter for a healthier fat profile and better taste.
  • Adjust peppermint extract to taste, adding more if you like a stronger mint flavor.
  • If vegan, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Store protein balls in the freezer for longer shelf life, up to 1 month.
  • Feel free to swap rolled oats for gluten-free oats if needed.
