Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup quick cook oats (certified gluten-free)
  • 1 cup vanilla protein powder
  • ½ cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • a pinch pink Himalayan salt
  • 1 tablespoon water (plus more if needed)
  • ½ cup dairy-free mini chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Line a large baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl combine the oats, protein powder, peanut butter, maple syrup, chia seeds, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt and mix well. Add 1 tablespoon at a time of water until the consistency is like a dough and all the oats are coated. Mix in the chocolate chips.
  3. Using a tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out the dough onto the cookie sheet. Using your hands, roll each ball of the dough into smooth balls and set each back on the parchment paper. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
