Instructions
0 Mix the base. Add all ingredients except for the chia seeds, chocolate chips & chocolate candies to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse on the "grind" setting or similar if your food processor has it until the ingredients are mixed fully but the texture is still thick. You should have some oat pieces still in tact. Alternatively, you can mix all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl manually with a silicone spatula. I tend to prefer the food processor method because it creates a smoother texture and the oats are less gritty. 1 Add the mix ins. Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl and add chia seeds, chocolate chips & chocolate candies. Mix using a silicone or rubber spatula to fully incorporate. Note that you may need to switch to a spoon or your hands if the batter is a little tough to manipulate to ensure the mix ins are fully incorporated. 2 Scoop the protein balls. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the protein bites into about 1-1.5 tbsp balls. Using your hands, roll the cookie dough into a ball and place on a cookie sheet. Repeat the process until all of the cookie dough has been used. You will have around 18-20 balls. Note: you may want to line your cookie sheet with parchment paper. I use these incredible non-stick ceramic cookie sheets that don't typically need parchment added, but if you don't have them or something similar, parchment paper will be helpful here to prevent the cookie dough bites from sticking to the tray.View original recipe
