💪 W-W Protein Balls With Oats

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups rolled oats

• ½ cup vanilla whey protein powder (about 2 scoops)

• ½ teaspoon cinnamon

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds

• ⅛ cup (2 tablespoons) natural smooth peanut butter (or any nut butter)

• 3 tablespoons raw honey

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Mix Dry Ingredients
   In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, protein powder, cinnamon, and chia seeds. Stir until evenly mixed.

2. Add Wet Ingredients
   Add peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix well with a spoon or your hands until a thick, sticky dough forms.

3. Adjust Texture (if needed)

   • If the mixture is too dry, add a little more honey or a tablespoon of water/milk.

   • If it’s too sticky, add a few extra oats.

4. Form Balls
   Roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). You should get roughly 12–14 balls depending on size.

5. Chill
   Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

6. Store
   Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage (up to 2 months).
