Equipment

large bowl

Ingredients

1/2 cup natural peanut butter (it needs to be runny - 128 grams)
1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of salt
1 cup rolled oats (100 grams)
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (50 grams)
3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Mix ingredients. To a medium-large mixing bowl, add peanut butter, milk, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt and mix until well combined and smooth and creamy. Add rolled oats and protein powder and mix until a dough forms. It will get crumbly at first but will come together. See notes if batter is too dry or too wet. Add in chocolate chips and stir to combine.
Form into balls. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the mixture and roll into 14 equal-size balls.
Enjoy! Store in the fridge or freezer and enjoy!

Notes

if the batter is too wet, either add more protein powder or oats. Add little by little until desired consistency.
if the batter is too dry, add a little more milk.

On using another protein powder:

plant-based protein - follow the directions as written. I used this plant-based protein.
whey protein - since whey protein is not as absorbent as plant-based, you might have to use a little more protein powder or cut back on the liquid (milk). You could also add some more oats if it is too sticky. I like this whey protein.
