Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, and peppermint extract. Stir until well incorporated.
  2. Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are well-distributed without breaking apart.
  3. Roll about one tablespoon of the mixture into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
  5. Transfer to an airtight container for storage. They’ll stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to one week.
