Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 0.5 cup vanilla or peanut butter protein powder
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 0.75 cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • 0.33 cup honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1.5 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
  • 0.33 cup mini M&Ms
  • 0.25 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 0.25 tsp sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Combine 1.5 cups oats, 0.5 cup protein powder, 2 tbsp flaxseed, 1 tbsp chia, and 0.25 tsp sea salt in your bowl. Note: Whisking first prevents protein powder clumps later.
  2. Add 1 tsp vanilla extract and 0.33 cup honey directly into the dry mix.
  3. Pour in 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter. Stir until a thick, sandy dough forms.
  4. Drizzle in 1.5 tbsp almond milk. Note: The dough should start to pull away from the sides of the bowl now.
  5. Gently stir in 0.33 cup mini M&Ms and 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips. Stop as soon as they are evenly distributed.
  6. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes. Wait until the oats feel softened and the dough is less tacky.
  7. Use your cookie scoop to portion out 20 mounds of dough onto parchment paper.
  8. Roll each mound between your palms until it forms a smooth, tight sphere.
  9. Place the rolled balls back in the fridge for 10 minutes until they feel solid when pressed.
