Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped raisins
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds or flaxseeds
  • 1/4 cup protein powder (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup nut butter (almond or peanut butter)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the old-fashioned oats, chopped raisins, chia or flaxseeds, and protein powder (if using) until evenly distributed.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the nut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Use a sturdy spoon or your hands to combine until the mixture forms a sticky, cohesive dough.
  3. Form the Balls: Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls about one inch in diameter, pressing the dough firmly so they hold together well.
  4. Chill and Set: Place the protein balls on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help firm them up and enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh, moist, and plump raisins to keep the texture soft and chewy.
  • Taste the mixture before rolling and add more honey or maple syrup if a sweeter snack is preferred.
  • Stick to old-fashioned oats for ideal texture; quick oats may become mushy.
  • Chill immediately to solidify the balls and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent drying out.
