Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats 50 g
  • 1 cup almond butter 240 g (smooth for easiest shaping)
  • 2 tbsp honey Maple syrup works for vegan
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder 40 g
  • 1/4 tsp peppermint extract Start small—it’s potent
  • 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips 40 g
  • 1–2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk If needed

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Add rolled oats, almond butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, and peppermint extract to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Stir vigorously until the ingredients form a uniform mixture and the protein powder is fully incorporated.
  3. Check the texture. If it feels dry or crumbly, add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it holds together when pressed.
  4. Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips so they are evenly distributed.
  5. Use a tablespoon to scoop portions, then roll each scoop into a compact ball between your palms.
  6. Arrange the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet so they don’t stick together.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up and let flavors meld.
  8. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to one week.

Notes

Use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version, or swap the vanilla protein powder for chocolate if you want extra cocoa depth. If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the honey by a tablespoon. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
