Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Quick cooking oats
  • 0.5 cup Ground flaxseed
  • 30 g Vanilla protein powder
  • 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
  • 0.5 cup Raw honey
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 0.33 cup Mini M&Ms
  • 0.25 cup Mini semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 0.25 tsp Sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Combine the 2 cups quick cooking oats, 0.5 cup ground flaxseed, and 30 g vanilla protein powder in your large bowl. Note: Mixing the dry stuff first prevents protein clumps later.
  2. Add the 0.25 tsp sea salt to the dry mix and whisk with a fork until distributed.
  3. Pour in the 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 0.5 cup raw honey.
  4. Add the 1 tsp pure vanilla extract directly into the honey pool to help it spread.
  5. Stir the mixture until no dry streaks of protein powder remain. It will be very thick and heavy.
  6. Fold in the 0.33 cup mini M&Ms and 0.25 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips. Work quickly so the warmth of your hands doesn't melt the chocolate shells.
  7. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes. Wait until the dough feels firm and less tacky to the touch.
  8. Use your cookie scoop to portion out 1 tablespoon mounds onto a parchment lined sheet.
  9. Roll each mound between your palms into a smooth ball.
  10. Press any stray M&Ms back into the surface for a bakery look.
