Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats ground in a food processor until about 1/3 the size
  • 1/2 cup ground flax seeds
  • 1/4 cup cacao nibs ground
  • 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate protein powder
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

  • Grind your oats, flax seed, and cocoa nibs separately in a food processor, blender, or coffee grinder. Transfer to a large mixing bowl, then add the Rice Krispies, peanut butter, protein powder, chocolate chips, honey, and maple syrup. Mix until it resembles a dry cookie dough.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to scoop balls and lightly pack them together. They should stay in a ball and not break.  If it's a little dry, add some honey or coconut oil.
  • Place on a baking sheet or in airtight containers and store in the fridge or freezer. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing instructions: store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
