Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup almond butter
6 to 8 dates, pitted
1/2 cup caramel protein powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
In a bowl or food processor, combine oats, almond butter, pitted dates, protein powder, and sea salt.
Mix until a sticky dough forms. If too dry, add 1 tablespoon honey.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Roll the chilled mixture into 18 bite-sized balls and return to the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
Substitute rolled oats with quinoa flakes for a grain-free alternative.
Use cashew or peanut butter if almond butter is unavailable.
For a vegan version, ensure the protein powder and dates are vegan-certified.
Adjust sweetness by adding more honey or dates as needed.
Chilling is essential for the mixture to firm properly.
