• 1 cup rolled oats

Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flax seeds, chia seeds and chocolate-flavored protein powder and stir to mix evenly.

2. Add the natural peanut butter and honey to the dry ingredients and stir until a thick, sticky dough forms. If it is too dry, add a little more honey, one teaspoon at a time.

3. Fold in the chopped dark chocolate until it is distributed throughout the mixture.

4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20 minutes so the dough firms up enough to roll.

5. Scoop out portions and roll them between your palms into balls about 1 inch (2.5 cm) across.

6. Place the balls on a plate or tray lined with parchment and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in the fridge.
