Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, and peppermint extract. Mix thoroughly until well blended and forms a sticky mixture.
  2. If the mixture is too dry, gradually add almond milk one tablespoon at a time until a moldable consistency is achieved.
  3. Gently fold in mini dark chocolate chips ensuring even distribution.
  4. Roll the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to firm up and enhance flavors.
  6. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
