Equipment

Kitchen Scale (optional)
Baking Sheet
Cookie Portion Scoop (optional)

Ingredients

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats 100 grams
½ cup ground flaxseed 70 grams
2 ounces chocolate protein powder 60 grams or 2 scoops, or use peanut butter protein powder
1¼ cups natural peanut butter 405 grams, try cashew or almond butter for a little something different, for nut-free use a seed butter
½ cup honey 175 grams, use a good-quality honey
1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips 177 grams, regular-size chocolate chips of any kind; white, milk, or dark

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the oats, flaxseed, and protein powder together.
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, ½ cup ground flaxseed, 2 ounces chocolate protein powder
Add the peanut butter and honey. Use a hand mixer or spatula to combine.
1¼ cups natural peanut butter, ½ cup honey
Stir in the chocolate chips.
1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
Use a 1-tablespoon-sized cookie scoop to scoop out protein balls. Use your hands to shape the scoops into balls and place them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. If the mixture begins to dry out, microwave the mixture for 15 seconds (this may slightly melt the chocolate chips). Repeat until all of the protein ball mixture has been shaped into balls.
To prevent protein balls from sticking to each other, wrap the baking sheet in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour before combining the protein balls into an airtight container. Protein balls can be enjoyed immediately without any additional chill time.
