INGREDIENTS

0.5 cup rolled oats

1.5 scoops vanilla whey protein powder

1 tbsp almond butter

1 tbsp dark chocolate chips

0.5 tbsp maple syrup

1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk

0.13 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp vanilla extract

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the rolled oats into a high-speed blender or food processor and pulse briefly until they reach a coarse, flour-like consistency.

• 2

  In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, and sea salt until well combined.

• 3

  Add the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond milk to the dry ingredients.

• 4

  Stir the mixture with a sturdy spatula until a thick, cohesive dough forms, adding an extra teaspoon of almond milk if the mixture feels too crumbly.

• 5

  Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

• 6

  Using your hands, roll the dough into 6 even-sized round bites and place them on a plate lined with parchment paper.

• 7

  Refrigerate the protein bites for at least 20 minutes to allow them to firm up and the flavors to meld before serving.
