Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup mini M&Ms
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine oats, protein powder, ground flaxseed, and salt. Whisk to mix evenly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
  3. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to fold and press until a thick, sticky dough forms.
  4. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and mini M&Ms until just combined.
  5. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough. Roll each portion firmly between your palms to form a smooth ball.
  6. Place balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

Notes

For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter. If dough is too crumbly, wet hands slightly when rolling. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
