Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup vanilla protein powder

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

1/4 cup mini M&M's (or other candies)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.

Stir in the protein powder until fully incorporated into the mixture.

Add the mini chocolate chips, mini M&M's, shredded coconut (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together with a spatula or your hands until it's evenly combined.

Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get around 12-15 balls, depending on size.

Place the protein balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a plate.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up, making them easier to handle and enjoy.

Once set, store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
