Equipment

Food processor or blender, optional but preferred

Ingredients

1 cup oats or oat flour 80 grams
1/3 cup peanut butter or almond butter 80 grams
1 tsp peppermint extract
3 scoops chocolate protein powder about 90 grams
1/4 cup maple syrup 60 grams
4 tbsp water
1/4 cup peppermint dust or broken up candy canes may need more or less depending on how much you add to batter or roll around the outside

Instructions

Pour oats into food processor and blend for 1-2 minutes, or until oats are finely chopped. If you are using oat flour, you can forgo this step.
Add the nut butter, peppermint extract, protein powder, maple syrup and half the peppermint dust to the food processor. Blend for 1 minute, or until a dough is formed.
Add 1 tbsp of water at a time until dough consistency is achieved (you may or may not need all 4 tbsp's). You may need to use a spatula to scrape the sides of the food processor sporadically to make sure the dough combines everything equally.
Use a spoon or tbsp to scoop out dough and roll into 1-inch balls. Place formed balls on a cookie sheet or plate.
Pour peppermint dust on plate and roll each ball to cover the outsides.
Place back on the cookie sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. You can transfer to a tupperware container for easy storage in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

Store energy balls in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for 3 months.
