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
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, almond butter, honey, and almond milk. Stir thoroughly until a uniform dough forms, ensuring that all dry ingredients are fully incorporated with the wet.
- Shape the Balls: Using your hands, roll the dough into 1-inch balls. If the mixture feels too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up before rolling.
- Refrigerate: Place the formed balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set and firm up.
- Store and Serve: Transfer the protein balls to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator or freezer. They can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature as a convenient and healthy snack.
Notes
- If the mixture is too dry, add an extra tablespoon of almond milk to help bind.
- For a nut-free version, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Use any flavor of protein powder to customize your protein balls.
- These protein balls can be stored in the fridge for up to one week or frozen for up to three months.
