Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Balls

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rolled oats

• 1/2 cup peanut butter

• 1 tbsp chia seeds

• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed

• 1 tbsp hemp seeds

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

• 1/3 cup raw unfiltered honey

• dash of vanilla

• dash of salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oat Flour – Add the rolled oats to a blender or food processor and blend until they reach a fine, flour-like consistency.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients – In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, and hemp seeds. Stir until everything is well incorporated. I love using my kitchenaid to mix everything together!

3. Blend the Wet Ingredients – In a separate bowl, mix together the peanut butter, honey, salt, and a splash of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

4. Combine Everything – Pour the peanut butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well. Once fully combined, fold in the chocolate chips for an extra delicious touch.

5. Form the Protein Balls – Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough and roll it between your hands to form bite-sized protein balls.

6. Store & Enjoy – Place the protein balls in an airtight container and store them in the fridge or freezer. They’re the perfect snack to have on hand whenever you need a quick energy boost!

Enjoy these chewy, protein-packed bites as a pre-workout snack, mid-afternoon pick-me-up, or healthy dessert!
