Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and salt. Mix thoroughly for about 2 minutes.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Incorporate peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract into the dry mixture, blend until cohesive and sticky for 3 minutes.
  3. Assess consistency: Evaluate dough; if too crumbly, add a bit more honey or peanut butter until firm yet pliable.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold in mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed for about 1–2 minutes.
  5. Shape the balls: Roll about a tablespoon of dough into balls, aiming for 12–15 evenly sized No-Bake Protein Balls.
  6. Chill to set: Place balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
