Ingredients
- ½ cup natural peanut butter
- ⅓ cup raw honey
- 1 TBSP coconut oil
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- ½ cup ground flaxseed
- 1 TBSP chia seeds
- ¼ cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 scoop protein powder either chocolate or vanilla
Instructions
- Line a plate or baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt the peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil together until it becomes thin and liquid. It doesn't need to cook, just warm up.
- In a large bowl, stir together the oats, flaxseed, chia seeds, cocoa powder, vanilla, and protein powder.
- Using a rubber spatula, mix in the peanut butter/honey mixture into the oat mixture until well combined. You might need to switch to using your hands.
- Using your hands, roll out 20-24 small round balls. You want these to be bite sized, about 1 TBSP worth at a time.
- Place all the bites on the lined tray, and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Store in a covered container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Enjoy!
