Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- Sturdy Spatula
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup ROLLED OATS
- 1/2 cup VANILLA PROTEIN POWDER
- 1/2 cup DRIED CRANBERRIES
- 1/2 cup PEANUT BUTTER
- 1/3 cup HONEY
- 1 tbsp CHIA SEEDS
- 1/2 tsp CINNAMON
Instructions
Step 1:
- Get your large mixing bowl out now. Pour the dry rolled oats inside. Add the vanilla protein powder next. Stir these two dry items together.
Step 2:
- Add the dried cranberries to the bowl. Sprinkle the chia seeds over the top. Add the ground cinnamon for spice. Mix the dry goods once more.
Step 3:
- Measure the creamy peanut butter carefully. Drop it into the center bowl. Drizzle the sweet honey over everything. This starts the sticking process now.
Step 4:
- Use your spatula to mix it all. Press down firmly as you stir. The dough should look very thick. All oats must be coated well.
Step 5:
- Let the mix sit five minutes now. This helps the oats absorb moisture. The dough becomes easier to roll. It will not fall apart later.
Step 6:
- Scoop out one tablespoon of dough. Roll it between your clean palms. Make a smooth and round ball. Place it on the parchment paper.
Step 7:
- Repeat this for all the remaining dough. Space them out on the tray. You should get about twelve balls. This depends on the ball size.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for a very smooth texture.
- Wet your hands to stop the dough from sticking.
- Chill the dough if it feels too soft today.
- Swap honey for maple syrup to make it vegan.
- Add dark chocolate chips for an extra sweet bite.
- Store them in the fridge to keep them firm.
