Ingredients
- 1.25 cups old fashioned oats (120g)
- 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (31g) I used PEScience
- 1/3 cup sugar-free pancake syrup (80g) sub pure maple syrup to make vegan
- 1/4 cup drippy nut butter (56g)
- 2 Tbsp chopped pecans (15g)
- 2 Tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut (15g)
- 1 Tbsp sweetener of choice (12g) I used Swerve
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- 3 Tbsp mini chocolate chips (45g)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients (except the chocolate chips) to a food processor and mix until all ingredients are combined well. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out 20 balls (about a heaping tablespoon in size), or however many you wish. After scooping, roll into balls with your hands. You can dampen your palms with a little water or nonstick spray to help prevent sticking.
- Keep stored in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer for up to four weeks.
Notes
To make vegan: use pure maple syrup instead of sugar-free pancake syrup; use a plant-based protein powder, and make sure your chocolate chips are dairy-free!
To store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer for up to 4 weeks.
