Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup chocolate protein powder

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)

1/4 cup ground flaxseed

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Optional: 2 tablespoons chia seeds or chopped nuts for added texture

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, ground flaxseed, mini chocolate chips, chia seeds, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or your hands to mix everything together until it forms a sticky dough. If the mixture seems too dry, add a splash of water or more honey to help combine.

        Form Balls: With clean hands, take small amounts of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a tray lined with parchment paper.

          Chill Out: Once all the mixture is rolled into balls, cover the tray with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

            Store: Keep the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
