Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats: A great source of complex carbohydrates and fiber.
- 1/2 cup nut butter (peanut or almond): Provides healthy fats and a creamy texture.
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup: Natural sweeteners that add a touch of sweetness.
- 1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate): Boosts the protein content and adds flavor.
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips or dried fruit: Adds a burst of flavor and texture.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract: Enhances the overall flavor.
- A pinch of salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors.
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients listed above. This includes the rolled oats, nut butter, honey or maple syrup, protein powder, chocolate chips or dried fruit, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Mix Well: Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and a sticky dough forms. Ensure that the nut butter and sweetener are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate: Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will help the dough firm up, making it easier to roll into balls.
- Roll into Balls: Once the mixture is chilled, use your hands to roll it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should be able to make approximately 20 balls.
- Store Properly: Place the energy balls in an airtight container and store them in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh and delicious for up to a week.
