Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Old Fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (no sugar added, or any nut butter or sunflower butter for nut free)
- 1/3 cup honey (or agave syrup for vegan)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder (optional; we use this one)*
- 3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Freeze the bowl for 5 minutes.
- Roll the dough into 20 small balls, pressing the dough together with your hands. We used a 1 1/2-inch cookie scoop (#40) to make uniform balls. You can also make smaller balls if desired. (If the texture of your nut butter makes the dough very dry, add a little more honey or a few tablespoons milk of choice until you can press it together into a ball shape.) Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
