Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats

- 2–4 tablespoons water or milk (as needed for consistency)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, peanut butter, protein powder, jelly, and honey (if using).

- Place the balls on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Notes
- You can use any type of nut butter you prefer, such as almond butter or cashew butter.
- For a vegan option, use a plant-based protein powder and maple syrup instead of honey.
- Add chia seeds or flax seeds for extra fiber and omega-3s.
- You can roll the balls in shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or extra protein powder for an added coating.
