Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups (135g) Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 0.5 cup (45g) Quick-Cooking Oats
  • 2 scoops (60g) Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 0.25 tsp Sea salt
  • 1 cup (250g) Natural Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 0.33 cup (115g) Raw Honey
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 0.33 cup (60g) Mini M&Ms
  • 0.25 cup (40g) Mini Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 1 tbsp (10g) Ground Flaxseeds

Instructions:

  1. Add 1.5 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats and 0.5 cup Quick Cooking Oats to your bowl.
  2. Stir in 2 scoops (60g) Vanilla Protein Powder, 1 tbsp Ground Flaxseeds, and 0.25 tsp Sea salt. <small>Note: This ensures the salt is evenly distributed so you don't get a salty punch in one bite.</small>
  3. Whisk the dry ingredients until the protein powder is no longer in clumps.
  4. Pour in 1 cup Natural Creamy Peanut Butter, 0.33 cup Raw Honey, and 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract.
  5. Use your spatula to fold the mixture. Stir until the oats look dark and glossy with no dry powder remaining at the bottom of the bowl.
  6. If the dough feels too stiff to move, add honey one teaspoon at a time.
  7. Gently stir in 0.33 cup Mini M&Ms and 0.25 cup Mini Dark Chocolate Chips. <small>Note: Over mixing here can cause the M&M shells to crack.</small>
  8. Stop as soon as the colors are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  9. Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it between your palms. Apply pressure until the ball feels solid and smooth.
  10. Place the balls on a tray lined with parchment paper. This recipe makes exactly 20 servings, providing a consistent 7.0g of protein per ball.
