Ingredients
- ¾ cup nut butter I like peanut or almond
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup quick oats
- ⅓ cup chocolate protein powder
- 2-3 tablespoons cocoa powder depending on preference
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 1-2 tablespoons milk as needed to thin
Instructions
- Whisk together the nut butter, honey and vanilla.
- Add in all remaining ingredients aside from the milk and mix well with a rubber spatula.
- If it seems too dry (will largely depend if you used 2 or 3 tablespoons of cocoa) add in 1-2 teaspoons of milk at a time until it's easier to mix.
- Use a small cookie scoop to scoop into balls.
- Leave as is or roll in shredded coconut, freeze dried raspberries etc.
- Let set in the fridge, then enjoy!
Notes
You can sub the quick oats for rolled oats, but the texture will be a bit different.
