Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats (quick or old-fashioned)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla or mint protein powder
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for richer chocolate flavor)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter, cashew butter)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey, agave)
  • 1 tsp pure mint extract
  • 1/4 tsp green food coloring (optional, for classic mint look)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
  • 2–3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or water, as needed for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, cocoa powder (if using), and salt. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients
    Add the almond butter, maple syrup, mint extract, and green food coloring (if using) to the dry ingredients.
  3. Mix Together
    Mix everything together with a spatula or your hands until a thick, uniform dough forms. If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, add almond milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a consistency that can be rolled without falling apart.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips
    Fold in the mini chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Form the Balls
    Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture for each ball. Roll it between your palms to form a smooth, compact ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  6. Place on Baking Sheet
    Place the finished Mint Chocolate Chip Protein Balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Chill the Balls
    Refrigerate the Mint Chocolate Chip Protein Balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving. This improves their texture and holds them together better.

Notes

  • Chilling the protein balls for at least 30 minutes helps them firm up and hold together better.
