Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond or peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon mint extract or 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint

Optional Coating

  • Desiccated coconut or extra mini chocolate chips (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together protein powder, rolled oats, mini chocolate chips, and optional chia or flax seeds until evenly distributed.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add almond or peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and mint extract (or fresh mint) to the dry mixture. Mix with a spatula or your hands until a sticky, workable dough forms.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes to firm up, making it easier to shape into balls.
  4. Shape and Roll: Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form the dough into 1-inch balls. Optionally roll them in desiccated coconut or extra mini chocolate chips for a decorative finish.
  5. Store or Serve: Keep the Mint Chocolate Chip Protein Balls refrigerated until ready to enjoy as a refreshing, protein-packed snack.

Notes

  • Adjust sweetness by tasting the dough before chilling and adding more honey or maple syrup if needed.
  • Use high-quality pure mint extract for authentic flavor and use sparingly.
  • If dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of water or additional nut butter for easier rolling.
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform 1-inch balls ensuring even size and portions.
  • Freeze balls first on a baking sheet before transferring to a container to prevent sticking.
