Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients - Start by measuring out all your ingredients. This will make the process smoother and quicker.
  2. Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, hemp seeds, and ground cinnamon (if using). Mix well to ensure even distribution.
  3. Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients - Next, add the peanut butter, pure maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt to the dry mixture. Stir until everything is well combined. The mixture will be thick and sticky.
  4. Step 4: Adjust Consistency - If the mixture feels too dry, add 2-4 tablespoons of water gradually until you reach a rollable consistency.
  5. Step 5: Fold in Chocolate Chips - Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  6. Step 6: Roll into Balls - Using your hands, scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
  7. Step 7: Chill - Place the rolled protein balls on a baking sheet or plate. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
  8. Step 8: Enjoy! - Once chilled, your Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Oatmeal Protein Balls are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes
