Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips or candy-coated chocolate pieces
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  3. Stir in rolled oats, protein powder, and ground flaxseed until evenly coated.

Notes

  • If mixture is too sticky, add more oats or protein powder.
  • Warm peanut butter slightly if too thick to mix.
  • Substitute peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter if needed.
  • Use maple syrup or agave instead of honey for a vegan version.
  • Store chilled to maintain texture.
