Chocolate Chip Protein Oatmeal Energy Balls

Chocolate Chip Protein Oatmeal Energy Balls

 

Prep Time: 10 minutes    Total Time: 40 minutes        Yield: 18 Balls

 

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups Rolled Oats (can swap for quick oats or gluten-free oats)

2 Tbsp plain protein powder

1/2 cup almond butter

1/3 cup stick liquid sweetener of choice (honey, agave) 

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips

 

Directions:

  1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.  If the mixture is too dry, add more almond butter.  If the mixture is too wet, add more protein powder.  It should resemble sticky dough that holds together when lightly squeezed. 
  2. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set which will make it easier to roll.
  3. Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and shape the dough into balls.  

 

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freeze for up to 3 months.
