Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup natural nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)
  • 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon mint extract

Instructions

  1. Combine the Dry Ingredients: Start by mixing rolled oats, protein powder, mini chocolate chips, chia or flaxseeds (if using), and sea salt in a large bowl to ensure even distribution of flavors and textures.
  2. Stir in the Wet Ingredients: Add nut butter, honey or maple syrup, and mint extract to the dry mixture. Stir vigorously until sticky and well combined. If mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of water or nut milk incrementally.
  3. Form the Balls: Scoop small amounts of the mixture and roll firmly into bite-sized balls about 1-inch in diameter for perfect snack portions.
  4. Chill and Set: Place the protein balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and meld flavors.
  5. Enjoy! Your Mint Chocolate Chip Protein Balls are ready to eat immediately or can be stored for later snacking.

Notes

  • Use pure, high-quality mint extract for the best fresh flavor.
  • If mixture is too sticky, add more oats; if too dry, add a splash of milk.
  • Freeze for 10 minutes if protein balls are too soft after chilling.
  • Use a small cookie scoop for consistent size and faster rolling.
  • Store in airtight containers to preserve freshness and texture.
