Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, and peppermint extract. Mix until evenly combined.

  3. Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  4. Using a tablespoon, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, approximately one inch in diameter.
  5. Place the protein balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
