Ingredients

1 cup salted natural peanut butter make sure it's drippy
1 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder

Optional Mix-Ins

3 Tbsp mini chocolate chips or M&Ms candies

Instructions

Mix dough: Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl, including optional mix-ins. With a wooden spoon or spatula, mix ingredients together until well combined. They should form a thick dough that easily stays together when pressed. Adjust the ingredients as needed until dough has reached your desired consistency (see notes).
Form balls: Grab about 2 Tbsp of dough and use your hands to carefully form balls. Place on a plate, making sure balls aren't touching each other. Repeat until all dough has been used.
Store: Refrigerate for 1-2 hours before transferring to a food container with a lid. Store in the fridge for up to five days.

Notes

If your dough is too thick, add more peanut butter. You'll also need to make sure you're using fresh natural peanut butter that's a little "drippy". If your peanut butter is dry, the balls won't form properly.

If your dough is too thin, add more protein powder and/or oats.
