40 g tiny dark chocolate chips
→ Wet Ingredients
02 -
0.25 tsp peppermint extract
03 -
42 g honey
04 -
240 g almond butter

15-30 ml unsweetened almond milk, use only if you need to loosen the mix
→ Dry Ingredients
06 -
30 g vanilla protein powder
07 -
50 g rolled oats
# Instructions:
01 -
Once chilled, pack up the bites in a sealed container and stash them in the fridge. They'll keep well for about a week.
02 -
Pop the rolled balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment. Let them firm up in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
03 -
Scoop out tablespoons of the mixture. Roll each one between your hands to make balls. Keep going till you’ve used it all.
04 -
Toss in the dark chips and gently stir them in so every bite gets some chocolate.
05 -
If things look a bit dry, trickle in some almond milk, just a spoonful each time, till the mix holds together well.
06 -
Start by dumping the oats, protein powder, almond butter, honey, and peppermint extract into a big bowl. Stir it up until everything comes together smoothly.
# Notes:
01 -
If you want these vegan, swap the honey for maple syrup instead.
02 -
Sticky situation? Let the mixture chill 5-10 minutes and it's easier to roll.
03 -
Dial back or bump up the peppermint, based on what tastes good to you.
04 -
Add chia or flax seeds if you want more fibre and protein in each bite.
