Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine old-fashioned rolled oats, peanut butter, and honey. Stir in butterscotch chips and chopped walnuts until mixed well.
Assess the texture of the mixture; it should feel sticky. If too dry, add more honey; if too wet, fold in more oats.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes.
Form the mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place on parchment paper.
Transfer protein balls to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or frozen for up to three months.
