Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 0.5 cup Crispy Rice Cereal
  • 60g Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
  • 1 tbsp Ground Flaxseed
  • 0.75 cup Creamy Natural Peanut Butter
  • 0.33 cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 0.25 tsp Sea Salt
  • 0.33 cup Mini Candy Coated Chocolate Gems
  • 2 tbsp Mini Dark Chocolate Chips

Instructions:

  1. Start by whisking your dry ingredients together. Toss the 1.5 cups of oats, 60g protein powder, 1 tablespoon of flaxseed, and 0.25 teaspoon of sea salt into your bowl. Use a fork to break up any protein powder clumps.
  2. Pour in the 0.75 cup of creamy peanut butter, 0.33 cup of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir with your spatula until the mixture looks like a thick, heavy cookie dough. Note: It should be slightly tacky but not wet.
  3. Fold in the 0.5 cup of crispy rice cereal. Do this gently so you don't crush all the air out of the cereal. We want that shatter in every bite.
  4. Add the 0.33 cup of candy gems and 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate chips. Stir just enough to distribute them evenly.
  5. Use your scoop to portion out about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time. Roll between your palms until you have a smooth, spherical shape. You should get exactly 20 servings out of this batch.
  6. Place the balls on your parchment lined tray. Put them in the fridge and wait 20 minutes until they feel firm and cool to the touch. This is non negotiable! The chilling allows the fats to solidify and the flavors to marry.
