Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons almond milk
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, almond butter, honey, and almond milk. Stir thoroughly until a dough forms and all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form Balls: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls using your hands. If the dough feels too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm up before rolling.
- Chill: Place the rolled balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set properly.
- Store: Transfer the protein balls to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator or freezer. Enjoy them chilled or at room temperature as a nutritious snack.
Notes
- If you prefer sweeter protein balls, you can add more honey to taste.
- For a nut-free version, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter.
- These protein balls can be frozen for up to 3 months for longer storage.
- If you don’t have almond milk, any other plant-based milk or regular milk can be used.
- Rolling the balls with slightly damp hands can help prevent sticking.
