Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • ¼ cup vanilla protein powder
  • ¼ tsp peppermint extract
  • ¼ cup mini dark chocolate chips
  • 1–2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk, if needed

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, and peppermint extract. Mix thoroughly.
  2. If the mixture is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of almond milk at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
  3. Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips.
  4. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball. Repeat for remaining mixture.
  5. Place the protein balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

For extra mint chocolate flavor, add 1 tbsp cocoa powder or replace some honey with maple syrup. Dough can be frozen for up to 2 months.
