Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats old fashioned
- 1 cup peanut butter natural
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 coops chocolate protein powder (50-60 grams)
- 2 Tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place oats, peanut butter, honey, protein powder and chocolate chips in a large bowl and stir to combine.
- Getting the mixture to combine takes a little arm muscle and it may seem too thick at first, but it will come together as you keep mixing. I used my hands to knead the dough near the end and that seems to help.
- Once combined, use a small cookie scoop to scoop and form the dough into balls.
- Store in a covered container in the fridge or freezer.

Notes
- Maple syrup can replace honey as a natural sweetener in the recipe.
- Almond butter, cashew butter, tahini, or sunflower butter are good alternatives to peanut butter.
- Chocolate protein powder is preferred for flavor pairing, but any protein powder can be used according to your preference.
- Instead of chocolate chips, try dried cranberries, raisins, shredded coconut, crushed nuts, cacao nibs, chia seeds, or ground flax seeds for different textures.
