Monster Cookie Protein Bites
Need a quick snack with a big boost of energy! These Monster Cookie Protein bites taste like cookie dough but are packed with protein!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter or any nut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini m&m's
Instructions
-
1. Place 1 cup of old fashioned oats in a blender or food processor and blend until it makes an oat flour.
2. Combine oat flour (made above) with the remaining 1 1/2 cups oats, peanut butter, honey and vanilla extract. This will be a little bit of a work out if you do it by hand. Fold in m&m's.
3. Make tablespoon sized dough balls and roll into balls! If the dough is too sticky you can refrigerate dough for 15 minutes before rolling!
Recipe Notes
NOTES:
Depending on the type of peanut butter you use (natural vs not) you may want to adjust the amount used. If the dough is too dry, add more peanut butter! If it's too "wet" add more oats or oat "flour" (made in step 1).
