Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine 1 cup of oats, ½ cup of your choice nut butter, ¼ cup of honey, 1 scoop of protein powder, and ½ cup of dark chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
  2. Mix vigorously for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Check the consistency. If it feels too wet, add more oats; if too dry, add nut butter or honey.
  4. Roll the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Transfer to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 3 months.
