Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • ⅓ cup vanilla protein powder
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 Tbsps. milk more if needed to get the dough consistency
  • 2 Tbsps. maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • dash of salt optional

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients into a large bowl.
  • Using a spatula, or with your hands, mix everything until well combined. You need to have pliable but firm, cookie dough-like consistency.
  • Take a tablespoon-sized piece of dough and with the help of your palms tightly roll even balls. You can also use an ice cream scoop to help you have even portions.
  • Place rolled balls onto a sheet lined with parchment paper and chill for 10 minutes.
  • Once chilled place the balls into an airtight container and store them in a fridge.

Notes

  • If the mixture seems to be on the tough side and does not want to roll into a ball add more milk or maple syrup. Do it so 1 tablespoon at a time. Stir well and try rolling again.
  • If the mixture seems to be too soft that doesn’t want to hold a ball shape, add oat flour. Do so 1 tablespoon at a time. Stir well and try rolling again.
  • You can use an ice cream scoop or meatball scoop to help you scoop out even portions of the cookie dough balls.
  • You can add some hemp hearts, collagen, or chia seeds for some extra added nutrition. 
  • Don’t have peanut butter? Try some almond butter or cashew butter.
  • Since we are not cooking or baking this, I highly recommend using a high quality vanilla extract over artificial vanilla extract as the flavors will really shine.
