Calories: 127kcal
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup rolled oats (100 grams)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (60 grams)
- 1 scoop Cellucor Molten Chocolate Whey Protein (33 grams)
- 1 scoop Dymatize Elite Chocolate Casein Protein Powder (36 grams)
- 1/4 cup Reese's Peanut Butter Chips (60 grams)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened dutched cocoa powder (10 grams)
- 2 tsp chia seeds (10 grams)
- 2 tsp instant espresso or instant coffee granules
Wet Ingredients
- 1/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (2.67 fl oz)
- 1/4 cup Skippy Natural Creamy Peanut Butter (64 grams)
- 2 1/2 tbsp honey (53 grams)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add all dry ingredients except peanut butter chips to a bowl and mix until combined.
- Microwave peanut butter for 20-25 seconds to melt. Add honey and vanilla extract, then stir and pour over oat mixture.
- Add almond milk to the mixture and using a sturdy spatula, mix and press until all ingredients are combined. All of the protein powder should be absorbed. If the mixture seems dry, add more almond milk 1 tbsp at a time, then fold in peanut butter chips.
- Using a cookie scoop to help, roll the mixture into about 1" to 1 1/2" balls. Place the balls into a resealable container and refrigerate overnight before serving. They will stay fresh in the refrigerator for 7-10 days or in the freezer for about 3 months.
Notes
- Make it dairy free: Swap the whey and casein with a plant based protein powder like this. Add an additional 2-4 tbsp of almond milk.
