Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup ground flaxseed
  • ¼ cup shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons milk if needed for moisture

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixing Bowl

  • Place a large mixing bowl on the counter. Add rolled oats, ground flaxseed and shredded coconut into the bowl. Stir gently so the dry ingredients mix evenly.

Add the Peanut Butter

  • Add peanut butter to the bowl. Peanut butter helps hold the mixture together and adds a rich flavor. Stir lightly to begin mixing the ingredients.

Add Honey and Vanilla

  • Pour honey and vanilla extract into the bowl. These ingredients add sweetness and aroma. Mix well until the mixture begins forming a sticky dough.

Add Chocolate Chips and Chia Seeds

  • Add chocolate chips and chia seeds to the mixture. Stir slowly so they spread evenly throughout the dough.

Check the Texture

  • If the mixture looks too dry, add one tablespoon of milk. Mix again until the dough becomes soft and easy to shape.

Chill the Mixture

  • Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. Chilling helps the dough firm up and makes rolling easier.

Shape the Balls

  • Use a spoon or small scoop to take small portions of the mixture. Roll them between your hands to form small round balls.

Place on Tray

  • Line a tray with parchment paper. Place each rolled protein ball onto the tray. Leave small spaces between each one.

Chill Before Serving

  • Place the tray in the refrigerator for another 10 minutes. This helps the balls hold their shape and improves the texture.

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter for better flavor.
  • Chill the mixture before rolling for easier shaping.
  • Add chopped nuts for extra crunch.
  • Mini chocolate chips mix more evenly.
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey if preferred.
  • Store in the fridge to keep them fresh longer.
  • Wet your hands slightly if the mixture sticks.
