No Bake Nut Butter Protein Balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter (or peanut butter, cashew butter)
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (of your choice)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (less if using cashew butter)
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (or more if desired) (I used Enjoy Life brand)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients into a large bowl. Mix completely. Add tsp water, if dry. Don’t make it too wet/watery.
- Use a spoon to scoop the dough and roll it into bite-sized balls between your palms, then place them on a cookie sheet or wax paper. Chill in the refrigerator for 5 minutes (long enough that they don't stick together), then transfer to a container with a cover.
- Chill/store in the refrigerator. Optional: Store it in the freezer, but let it sit for a minute to soften slightly before eating.
