Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 3 tbsp cacao powder
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 2 tbsp raw honey
  • 2-3 tbsp unsweetened plant-based milk or more as needed
  • 1 tbsp cacao nibs optional, but they add a nice crunch. You could also try them with mini dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Add the oats, protein powder, cacao powder, chia seeds and sea salt to a bowl and stir to combine.
  • Add the tahini and honey and stir until fully combined. You can also use your hands for this. Depending on the protein powder used and how sweet it is, you may wish to add a little more honey.
  • 1 tbsp at a time, add the milk until you have a consistency that will stick together and you can form into balls.
  • Add the cacao nibs if using and mix again. Roll into balls and store in an air-tight container in the fridge until ready to eat.

Notes

If you only have vanilla protein powder on hand, simply add additional cacao powder to the mixture.
