Equipment

  • medium bowl
  • spoon
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder
  • ¼ cup ground flaxseed or chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup peanut butter or substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter

Preparation Steps

  • Combine the rolled oats, protein powder, flaxseed, and cocoa powder in a medium bowl. Mix dry ingredients well.
  • Add the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) to the dry mixture.
  • Mix everything together using a sturdy spoon or your hands until a thick, uniform dough forms. If the mixture seems too dry, add water, one teaspoon at a time, until it holds together when pressed.
  • Roll the dough into small, bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  • Place the finished balls on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free oats. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
