Makes about 12 Bites
Ingredients
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
2/3 cup toasted shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened; can also use regular shredded coconut vs toasted)
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (or vegan chocolate chips) (optional)
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds and/or crushed walnuts (optional for added crunch!)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter or almond butter
1/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
*** Add in additional peanut butter or honey as needed if mixture is too dry
Instructions
Combine all dry ingredients into large bowl and stir
Then stir in the nut butter, vanilla extract and honey using a silicone spatula (I've found this utensil to be better for mixing everything together to get it into the best texture!)
Roll into 1 - 1.5 inch sized balls with hands
Store in fridge in an air tight container
Enjoy!!
