Ingredients
2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup protein powder
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
2 tablespoons almond butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the oats, coconut, protein powder, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until the ingredients are well-combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, coconut oil, almond butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until everything is combined. Using a cookie scoop, scoop the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the fridge and chill for at least 1 hour. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
For a nut-free version, substitute sunflower seed butter for the almond butter. You can also substitute peanut butter, cashew butter, or any other nut or seed butter of your choice.
If you’re looking for a sweeter treat, add a few tablespoons of maple syrup or agave nectar. You can also add a few tablespoons of mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts for an extra crunch.
These protein balls will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks. You can also freeze them for up to three months.
