Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, and peppermint extract. Mix thoroughly until a uniform dough forms.
  2. If the mixture feels too dry, gradually add unsweetened almond milk until a rollable consistency is achieved.
  3. Gently fold in mini dark chocolate chips to evenly distribute throughout the dough.
  4. Scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball shape. Place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
  6. Transfer to an airtight container for storage. Keep in fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
