Instructions

  1. 01

    Mix wet ingredients: Stir together 6 tbsp natural peanut butter (just peanuts + salt), 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract until smooth. Add 5 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (to bind, add more as needed) a tablespoon at a time until the mixture is soft and glossy — you'll likely need most or all of it since the maple syrup is gone.

  2. 02

    Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 1/3 cup flaxseed meal (ground flax), 2 tbsp chia seeds, 3 tbsp cacao nibs, 4 vanilla protein powder scoops (about 1 cup total), and 1/4 tsp fine sea salt so the protein powder is evenly distributed with no clumps.

  3. 03

    Combine wet and dry ingredients.

  4. 04

    Fold in 1/2 cup crispy rice cereal.

  5. 05

    Roll into balls and refrigerate.

  6. 06

    Store in refrigerator.
