Ingredients
-
½ cup oat flour (or finely blended rolled oats)
-
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
¼ cup chocolate chips (dark chocolate recommended)
-
¼ cup protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
-
1 tbsp chia seeds (or ground flaxseed)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
2–4 tbsp milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy, etc.)
-
Pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Mix dry ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk together oat flour, cocoa powder, protein powder, chia seeds, and salt. -
Add flavor:
Stir in vanilla extract and chocolate chips (melt them first for extra fudginess, or leave whole for texture). -
Form the dough:
Add 2 tablespoons of milk and mix. Add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. -
Roll:
Scoop and roll into bite-sized balls using your hands. -
Chill:
Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to firm up. Enjoy!
Notes
-
Too dry? Add milk a teaspoon at a time or a tiny bit of nut butter.
-
Too sticky? Chill for 10 minutes or lightly dampen your hands before rolling.
-
Protein powder matters: Plant-based powders may need a little extra liquid.
