Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup nut butter (almond or peanut)
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: Combine protein powder, rolled oats, and graham cracker crumbs in a medium bowl to create the textured base.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together nut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
- Combine and Fold: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir well. Gently fold in mini marshmallows and dark chocolate chips, distributing evenly throughout the mixture.
- Form the Balls: Using hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the sticky mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Chill to Set: Place the formed balls on a lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and enhance the gooey texture of the marshmallows.
Notes
- Keep ingredients cold to make rolling easier.
- Don’t overmix to avoid dense balls.
- Use mini marshmallows for proper melting without overpowering texture.
- Adjust sweetness by tasting and adding more honey if needed.
- For firmer balls, add more oats or graham cracker crumbs if mixture is too wet.
