- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For toppings
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil

- Add the oats, protein powder and salt to a large bowl and stir.
- Next, add in the peanut butter, honey and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Form mixture into approximately 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth.
- Drizzle the balls evenly with melted chocolate. Sprinkle with some flaky sea salt, if desired. Place in the fridge or freezer to allow chocolate to set. Enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust sweetness if needed: Depending on your protein powder, you may want to slightly adjust the honey. If your mixture feels too dry or not sweet enough, add an extra tablespoon of honey to help everything bind together.
- Don’t overheat the chocolate: Melt your chocolate chips slowly in short intervals to avoid burning.
