Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Rolled Oats
  • 1/2 cup Protein Powder
  • 1 tbsp Chia Seeds
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 cup Natural Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1/3 cup Raw Honey or Maple Syrup
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/3 cup Mini Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 2 tbsp Hemp Hearts

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and sea salt until evenly combined.
  2. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the creamy peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract.
  3. Stir the mixture with a sturdy silicone spatula until a heavy, thick dough forms.
  4. Fold in the mini dark chocolate chips and hemp hearts until distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Allow the mixture to rest for 5-10 minutes. This 'Oat Hydration' phase ensures the soluble fiber absorbs moisture for a better structure.
  6. Using a small cookie scoop (1-tablespoon size), portion the dough and roll into 24 smooth balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate to set.
