Step 1

To the bowl of a food processor or blender, add the oats, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, and salt. Pulse 10-15 times until some of the oats are broken into very small pieces, while some may remain relatively intact.

Step 2

Stir in the whey protein powder.

Step 3

Transfer to a mixing bowl and add in the wet ingredients, such as nut butter, honey, and vanilla. Stir with a wooden spoon or mix with clean hands until well combined. If the dough does not stick together, add ½ tablespoon of water at a time and mix in until the dough sticks together easily when formed into a ball.

Step 4

Stir in the candy-coated chocolate pieces and chocolate chips.

Step 5

Roll the dough into 20 balls using about 2 tablespoons of dough per bite (about 25-28 g in dough weight per ball). Dampen your hands slightly with water to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Store balls in a covered container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. We recommend placing a sheet of parchment paper between layers to keep them from sticking together when frozen.
