Ingredients
- 1 cup Sunflower seed butter
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 scoop Protein powder
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sunflower seed butter and honey. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
Step 2
Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 3
In another bowl, mix together the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry mixture to the sunflower seed butter mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Step 5
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 6
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the dough into 1-inch balls. If the mixture is too sticky, wet your hands slightly to assist with rolling.
Step 7
Place the balls onto a tray lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Step 8
Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
