# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 1 cup rolled oats, certified gluten-free
02 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
03 - 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
04 - 1/4 cup plant-based protein powder, vanilla or chocolate flavor
05 - 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
→ Wet Ingredients
06 - 1/2 cup natural peanut butter, smooth or crunchy
07 - 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
# How to Make It:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, unsweetened cocoa powder, vegan chocolate chips, plant-based protein powder, and fine sea salt.
02 - In a separate bowl, stir together the natural peanut butter, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.
03 - Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a spatula or your hands until a cohesive dough forms.
04 - If the mixture is too dry to hold together, add non-dairy milk one teaspoon at a time, stirring well after each addition until the desired consistency is reached.
05 - Scoop approximately one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms into a compact ball. Repeat with the remaining dough until all mixture is formed.
06 - Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm and set completely.
07 - Transfer the chilled balls to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
