Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup vanilla protein powder

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1/3 cup M&Ms (or similar candy-coated chocolate)

1/4 cup ground flaxseed

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, and ground flaxseed. Mix them well to ensure even distribution.

    In a separate bowl, mix the natural peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) until well combined and creamy. Add in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt, blending again.

      Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until you have a thick, sticky dough.

        Fold in the mini chocolate chips and M&Ms until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

          Using your hands, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the rolled balls onto a lined baking sheet or plate.

            Repeat the rolling process until all the mixture is used up. If the mixture is too sticky, lightly wet your hands to make rolling easier.

              Once shaped, refrigerate the protein balls for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
